Cicada killer and Cicada

Description

Seems this was a very good year for the Cicada Killer population. Or maybe this is the year I started noticing them. Anyway, here is a entomological preparation attempting to show the moment of unconventional inter-species "sex." Have about a dozen insect mounts undocumented right now, but of course this little display is for sale but really difficult to ship without damage.

I found a giant cicada on the grille of my car a few years back, it literally stayed stuck there for several months (I wasn't gonna touch it). I'd play with a praying mantis that's the size of my hand but cicada's just skeeve me out. Certainly caterpillars weird me out too, not the fuzzy ones, the smooth ones.
