An inked illustration of a cicada nymph growing in the ground with a larger example of it shown above. The bigger version is supposed to magnify the little version in the earth. An inked illustration of a cicada laying her eggs in the hollow of a tree branch. The eggs are magnified in another drawing below her to show the audience what they look like. An inked illustration of a cicada emerging from her shell. She dangles from a tree, letting her brand new wings dry and unfurl.

A digitally painted scientific book page featuring a cicada coming out of its shell. It is a 17 year cicada, so it is a deep green and vibrant orange color with sparkling red eyes. Its shell is muddy, and they both cling to the side of a tree while the cicada dries her fresh wings. The text reads “This is our friend the Pharaoh Cicada! Also known as the 17 year cicada. This one left her shell behind.” And the different parts of the cicadas body are labeled to add additional information.
