We’ve begun to hear the cicadas again and I am reminded of my print.
This is a small handmade linocut print of a large, well-loved, well-known insect with a long song. The Tibicen canicularis, also known as dogday harvestfly or dog-day cicada, is common in North America and its power-saw like buzzing song is taken as a sign of summer. 🧵1/2

Completed the dog-day cicadas before the dog-days of summer, named for the first day the Dog Star Sirius can be seen to rise above the eastern horizon at dawn. The Tibicen canicularis, also known as dogday harvestfly or dog-day cicada, is common in North America and its power-saw like buzzing song is taken as a sign of summer.

Not quite what they mean for #InsertAnInvert2024 by a subterranean #invertebrate but nonetheless an animal that spends a considerable amount of its lifecycle below ground. This is a small handmade linocut print of a large, well-loved, well-known insect with a long song. The Tibicen canicularis, also known as dogday harvestfly or dog-day cicada, is common in North America and its power-saw like buzzing song 🧵1/2

This was the weekend I first heard the cicadas this year. This is a tiny linocut of a large, well-loved, well-known insect with a long song. The Tibicen canicularis, also known as dogday harvestfly or dog-day cicada, is common in North America and its power-saw like buzzing song is taken as a sign of summer. It lives in deciduous and mixed woods in southern Canada & NE US.
