Various cicada pins, lures and other items I’ve collected over the years.

Thanks to Elias for sending us the link to this video clip of a Magiciada timbalizing, a.k.a. making the sound they make. The clip is from the show Time Warp which airs on the Discovery channel. Time Warp features video of common, or not-so-common, events slowed down so you can see what your eyes and mind aren’t capable of seeing in normal time. I recommend the show — it’s fun and educational. I saw the episode, and immediately went to their site looking for the clip but they didn’t have it — thankfully someone posted it on YouTube and Elias found it.

Yeah, I know the picture shows a snake, but trust me, the first segment of the clip is about cicadas.

Another Flickr find. The rich blue color is amazing.

It’s the end of the year, so before I take down the 2008/Brood XIV cicada shirts I’m cutting prices.

There’s shirts for less than $10 for adults and kids.

It’s fall in the North East and things are kind of slow. :)

If you’re curious as to what cicadas in India look like, check out India Nature Watch, and visit their Cicadidae and Cicada pages. Try a search on their site too to reveal more.

This cicada is particularly pretty.

Some folks will find this terrifying.
