Cicada ManiaBen from Quebec emailed us photos of the packaging for the Lucky Cicada Keychain (Toy, Keyring).
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.

This whimsical display of dismembered and “reassembled” cicadas enjoying a Mongolian Hot Pot dinner can be yours! It’s for sale on ebay!
Awesome!
Cicadas are cool, and tattoos can be pretty cool too. Take a took at Sandy Herder’s new cicada tattoo. Awesome.
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.
Today I found this cicada-shaped toy in my mail.
Thanks Roy Troutman!
Take a look at Kate’s Magicicada tattoo. It is fantastic!
Thanks to Roy for this link to wholesale manufacturers and their cicada-related goods. My favorite is the Canned Jinchan.
Cicadas: it’s what’s for dinner!
Various cicada pins, lures and other items I’ve collected over the years.
Cicada magnets, key-rings, pens, buttons, pins, fishing lures, etc.
