A cicada's life cycle unfolds across cream and sage green leaves, with reddish-brown insects at various stages of molting and development arranged throughout a central stem. The scientific illustration employs a naturalistic palette and meticulous detail, capturing both the delicate transparency of newly-emerged wings and the textured exoskeletons of earlier forms in a composition that reads as both botanical study and entomological documentation. Printed on smooth white card stock and made to order, artwork on the front, blank inside, envelopes included in every set. A handwritten note that arrives as an independent artist's work.
