Species-Penthicodes pulchella Cicada

Cicadas were revered by Chinese as symbols of rebirth, and kept to enjoy their songs. Chirping bugs like katydids, cicadas and crickets are prized throughout China, collected by children and old men who keep them in clay vessels or bamboo cages and nourish them with grains of rice and razor-thin slices of green onion.  The practice of collecting singing insects is said to have begun 2,000 years ago. They were sought as good-luck talismans, and later as companions for imperial concubines, who kept them in gilded cages. The insects are embedded in Chinese culture. Ancient poems praise their melodious songs, and many idiomatic expressions use crickets and grasshoppers as metaphors for fertility, friendship or the passage of time.  (NYT-Andrew Jacobs)

NOTE:  If your item is in a glass dome please be aware that the domes are NOT permanently connected to the base. Care has to be taken when opening or removing the dome so not to damage the display or specimen.

  When purchasing this item you are agreeing to the following: NO CLAIMS FOR SMALL BROKEN PARTS.  There are no refunds or discounts issued for broken antennae on any insects as they are just too fragile to guarantee in shipping.  This is rarely an issue especially with single packaged specimens.  As far as detached tails, leg, head, wing or broken tarsi. When it comes to bugs, it is usually the beetle heads, especially horned beetles and Mantis are usually legs or head. These small parts are easily fixable and you should be aware that you may have to fix (glue) a part or two when purchasing items like this and we will direct you through it. We do offer videos that show you exactly how to repair these items as well. We will work with you to correct any problems that may occur as our reviews reflect. If you are not comfortable repairing an item you may return the item, return postage will be the buyers expense and a refund for the item will be refunded as soon as the item is returned less shipping cost or restocking fee if one is posted for that item. 

 These are all natural specimens and may have a leg or part of an antenna missing, I do my best to make sure they are very good but sometimes one gets by me, any damage is very slight and will not effect the looks of the specimen.   See my feedback for confirmation.  I rarely have a problem but even with good packaging it is impossible for us to Guarantee that specimens will arrive totally intact. 

We do our best to ensure all specimens, animals, insects and flora, used in our displays or offered by us are sustainably sourced.
