A print of an original watercolour and graphite painting of the Dog-day Cicada (Neotibicen canicularis), a familiar summer insect found across much of eastern and central North America. Its striking ochre, olive and brown colouring, intricate wing venation and distinctive body shape captured the artist’s attention as she came across a deceased cicada and added it to her natural history specimen collection. Known for its loud, rhythmic buzzing on warm summer days, the Dog-day Cicada is an unmistakable part of the summer soundscape.
