      I’ve been hearing them for a couple weeks now. Somehow feels hotter when I hear them

      I once heard of someone collecting the shed cicada shells and spray painting them gold, to use as Xmas decorations. Should you want something a little different at this time of year

        That would be beautiful! So many insecks are beautifully geometric in design, and gilded would look stunning! And the cicada isn’t using the shell anymore so why not. So far I’ve just been putting the shells in the compost, but painting them might be a lot more fun.
