#cicadas2016

The argument that cicadas only hatch every X years is pretty comical to me considering I hear and see them every single year. They come in different broods over different time intervals and can be found in greater or smaller numbers depending on the brood, location, and year. When I say "the argument" I am referring to actual arguments I've had with multiple people on this topic. #cicada #insect #bugs #nature #cicadas2016 (at Downers Grove, Illinois)

While taking the dogs out in the park, I listen to (what I hope to be) the sound of some cicadas. We don't really have them around here, so I'm not sure it's a cicada... so I had to drew myself one. They're fascinating and beautiful creatures. I wrote a nice Murakami quote to go with it. #illustration #drawing #cicada #cicadadrawing #cicadalove #cicadas2016 #cicadainvasion #cicadaseason #neotibicen #dogdaycicada #murakami #murakamiquotes #calligraphy #quotecalligraphy #zebrag

The cicadas are nearly deafening. And Gus just wants to sleep. #summer2016 #memorialdayweekend2016 #cicadas2016
