Thanks for Suzanne M for the scan of the Archie McPhee catalog featuring the amazing cicada keychain.
I actually finally found one of these thanks to a family member.

Lucky Cicada Keychain packaging
Ben from Quebec emailed us photos of the packaging for the Lucky Cicada Keychain.
Hello,
Here a picture of my toy cicada package. I bought it at Discovery Island (now closed), a former small theme park of Walt Disney World back in 1993.

BTW, I forgot to announce some good news — I finally found a working Lucky Cicada Keychain!

Cicadas are cool, and tattoos can be pretty cool too. Take a took at Sandy Herder’s new cicada tattoo. Awesome.

Life in the Undergrowth
I just finished watching the BBC mini-series Life in the Undergrowth staring several million invertebrates and David Attenborough. (I watched it in between the picnics, fireworks, and swimming that mostly occupies my time.) Fans of cicadas and land-dwelling invertebrates will love this show. Attenborough is the best when it comes to explaining the natural world to TV viewers.
BBC thoughtfully put the segment of the show about 17 year cicadas on YouTube.
I like the bit when he lures the male around by imitating the wing flicks of females.
You can buy it in the usual places, or rent it of course.

New Cicada Shirt Design
After promising a year or more ago I made a t-shirt design out of my cartoon-style cicada.
There’s a $10 shirt, a mug, and more, like this shirt:

Earlier this month I posted the video of insect enthusiast Sandy Aiello interviewed by NBC Washington about the Magicicada emergence.
Sandy Aiello was kind enough to let us post some of her Magicicada photos on Cicadamania:
