The cicadas are coming! The cicadas are coming! Some cicada species can register sounds louder than 100 decibels — louder than an approaching subway train — when calling for a potential mate. As many as 1.5 million cicadas may crowd into a single acre, and their calls can often be heard as far as a mile away. Since we can’t avoid them when it’s their time to emerge, we may as well have some fun with them. This hand-painted pendant is so lifelike it even glistens in the sun! Consider completing your set with a pair of handpainted cicada earrings, pictured here and sold separately below.
