More anthro designs no one asked for. 🪲
Here’s two Cicada sisters, because we don’t have enough goofy bug characters.

Going for a swim in UV resin! Hopefully this will protect my delicate shell from breakage, and look at all the bubbles!!

had the thought 'it might be interesting to also collect a cicada nymph before it can molt and keep it as a wet specimen' and then immediately the concept of a cicada quietly growing underground for thirteen years to finally, finally emerge into the world only to get killed and put in a jar before it ever has a chance to stretch its wings just because some idiot thought it'd be neat nearly made me cry
#'jay aren't you gonna eat them' yeah#it's different#the main reason I stopped collecting insects after DJ and I broke up is that I get Weird about it#it's a weird... like. so vulnerable species notwithstanding#one thing about bugs in an ecosystem is that they're highly abundant and-- on an individual basis-- disposable#they lay a zillion eggs because they're getting eaten (or just stepped on even) by every other goddamn thing alive#in general my sincere belief is that a hobbyist with an insect collection is literally fine#but on a PERSONAL level because I'm not A Scientist and I know my personal desire for an insect collection comes down to 'they're pretty'--#feels weird. feels bad! feels like a bad reason to kill something even if killing that specific thing isn't measurably harmful to do#same way I feel about people killing spiders when I JUST SAID I would take care of it#like... okay there are a zillion other grass spiders where that came from but YOU are still a dickhead for doing that for no reason#ANYWAY. I'm making a collection exception for magicicadas because 1) okay @me come on there's gonna be a zillion. it's literally fine#and 2) this double emergence feels like such a genuinely big deal to me! first one in ~200 years and there won't be another for ~200 more!!#if I can collect scientifically viable specemins it feels like... there's a point to that#beyond 'I saw a butterfly so pretty I just HAD to kill it 🥰' you know??#... this has all come a bit tangential to the post I guess lol but... just feels existentially cruel#lots of cicada nymphs are going to get stepped on or eaten before they can molt into adults and I know that but it still just.. makes me sa#they live SO LONG. they've waited SO LONG for this. aahhh...#about me#cicada journey

Dog-day Cicada - Neotibicen canicularis - nymph
Though today’s post will be a shorter one, the images featured here are lovely close-ups of an insect that has graced this blog many, many times. The weather is beginning to really warm up in Toronto and it’s getting me excited for all the great Bugs I hope to see this year, and when the heat of summer arrives, these burrowers will leave the earth and ready themselves to take wing. The specimen here was found crawling on the curb, searching for a place to secure themselves while they molt. From the images here, this Cicada was likely ready to burst out (see Picture 5 for the beginnings of the exoskeleton split along the thorax), so time was of the essence! 
While in an uncrowded area, the curb can still be a dangerous place for a Cicada due stones getting kicked up and car tires rolling in (though some Cicadas may actually make use of car tires). Don’t fear handling Cicada Nymphs: they are easy to pick up and hold, and they will eventually begin moving again once they realize there is no danger. Just don’t hold them too long if they need to molt! They need a strong surface to grab on and push against without dislodging so they can release from their younger shell. As such, I moved this individual to a nearby tree and let it secure itself. While I didn’t stick around for the molting, hopefully that Cicada enjoyed a wonderful summer! They may grow noisy and loud, but they are still Bugs, and we can be good to them. 
Pictures were taken on July 18, 2020 with a Google Pixel 4. Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend.
