Life-sized handmade paper sculpture of a beautiful cicada.

The cicada are very noisy insects which produce a loud buzzing sound during the summer.
Most cicadas emerge every year, while some have very long life-cycles and only emerge every 13 or 17 years. Until then they live as larvaes underground.
