This “stuffed animal” / plushy cicada nymph + molted cicada might be the best cicada gift ever. Why?? It is two cicadas in one! It is a nymph that unzips to reveal an adult cicada! The adult cicada is in its soft aka teneral state. Very detailed and thoughtful on the part of its creators. The website that offers it is in Japan, so you might have trouble ordering it (unless you are in Japan). I bet it is high demand!
