Collecting Cicada Stamps

Night Owl and I are fascinated by our red eyed, harmless, chattering
friends. Their last visit was the year we were married, fondly
remembered.

We have 3 cicada stamps already: Brood X by Tempus Fugit, 17 Year
Ick by Firefly, and the great Patapsco gather event stamp by
SewSooBusy.

Because they may not have obvious names on the listing I would be
grateful if anyone would reply or write with known Cicada carving
placements. thedoubtfulguests at yahoo dot com I would be very
intersted in photos of those too far to travel to (I dont' want to
start a flame war if anyone objects though). Send privately.

For those of you who color you may be interested to know I stamped
the 17 Year Ick as a blue eyed rare. Yes, apparently a precious few
of the critters have blue eyes.

Try not to think about that.
