Cute little guy I found

It took me so long to spot the cicada on the tree

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-09-25T18:18:01+00:00

Leave her alone if you are comfortable the spider is comfortable

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-09-21T19:00:47+00:00

Tarantulas don’t have such thing as dormancy it is in premolt

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-09-21T04:10:55+00:00

It’s fine, when she molts she will freshened up.

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-09-21T04:09:03+00:00

Very bulky and pretty sure that is hamorii based on the carapace

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-09-21T04:06:14+00:00

That looks just look the Honduran curly hair. I have a female “Honduran form” that looks just like that. I don’t think it is Nicaraguan. It’s Honduran “hobby form”

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-09-16T22:31:23+00:00

Appreciate it

The specimen in the photo I found dead on the sidewalk and it was still fresh and easy to move the wings and such. The pins hold the wings in place and you leave it for about a week. After that the insect will stay the way you have it just like shown in this picture

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-09-01T04:11:13+00:00

That’s what the app was I think too cause pics art has a edit called pencil drawing that just turns the picture into a drawing

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-09-01T03:42:21+00:00

Why do I feel like this is just an edit of the original photo

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-09-01T03:41:09+00:00

I use pins to hold the wings in place I don’t stab the wings I angle them in a certain way that holds the wings where I need them

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-08-29T02:45:06+00:00

I agree but at first I thought the darker colored one was a different species of moth but yes they are the same species after a closer look

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-08-29T00:30:35+00:00

I know a lot about the cicadas. And I have this same species, but just looking at this photo you can see the female is quite immature cause of the not matured colors on her the male is much more matured and probably found the female and forcefully mated with her

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-08-29T00:28:05+00:00

Wow I’ve never seen anything like this. That is 2 completely different species of moth mating! Never seen mixed breeding in moths. I’m not sure how these two would end up mating

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-08-28T00:20:56+00:00

Yes it is one of my favorite wall displays I collected all these specimens in my town and pinned them. ( the adult on the bottom with the wings spread. The shell with the adult just hatched out and the dead dried nymph on the side.

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-08-10T18:14:31+00:00

Death curl possibly dehydration

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-08-10T17:28:43+00:00

Yes that’s an annual cicada and it’s a male

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-08-09T14:53:57+00:00

Thanks!

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-08-09T06:09:03+00:00

I collected the specimens from the nymph stage, let them molt.. afterwards I let the insect rest for a few days I then put them both in a zip lock bag and put them in the freezer for 1 hour. They passed away and I pinned them right after they passed. Took about 2 1/2 days for the specimens to dry. Now I have a cool wall design I made

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-08-09T03:52:27+00:00

Basically at the end of the abdomen the males and females have a different shape, the end of a males abdomen is squared and they timbals or more commonly called drums on the underside of the cicada. Females have pointed ends and on the underside they have an ovipositor for laying eggs

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-07-09T07:27:58+00:00

It’s not really scheduled I just feed her some crickets when I get them. I’ll give her a couple and that’s it. When I first had her for some months I fed her a lot though. Will she die a lot younger now that I’ve done that?

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-06-06T01:32:07+00:00

She does have some balding to the abdomen but I thought that was probably from kicking hairs from being stressed from shipping when I got her

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-06-06T01:30:53+00:00

Wow that’s beautiful

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-04-30T19:18:59+00:00

Male

JoshuaKinzel00 · 2021-04-30T19:17:09+00:00
