Semi-Ningen meets Cicada Man
It’s fall in the North East and things are kind of slow. 🙂
Semi Ningen and Cincinnati Cicada Man.
Cicadas of India
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.
Update (2012), also visit The Cicadas of India Facebook group.
Cicada Halloween
Some folks will find this terrifying.
French cicada site
Someone asked me for photos of cicadas from the south of France; my curiosity peaked, I did a search. Cigales is the French word for cicadas, and sud is the French word for south. I took fives years of French in school; I’ve forgotten a lot of it due to lack of use, but I remember those words. Searching sites written in French using Google I came across: Cigale à Porquerolles, insecte de provence, sur la côte méditerranéenne.
Considering the large number of illustrations, photos and information Cigale à Porquerolles, insecte de provence, sur la côte méditerranéenne is essentially the French Cicada Mania — in fact, it’s better than that. It’s the French Massachusetts Cicadas.
Check the site out. Even if you can’t read French, the photos and illustrations speak for themselves, and you’ll get a chance to see what cicadas look like in France.
And these are cicada bottles
