A circular peice of digital art which features an adorable cicada on a melted strawberry sprinkle icecream cone, and parts of the icecream on its head. Surrounding it are chocolate popsicles, mint leaves, and glitter. This image is framed by the bubbly lettering "I scream, you scream, we all scream for screee"

Today on Blurrie touches grass:
One of the few remaining pharaoh cicadas, an absolutely gorgeous white-lined sphinx moth that took the fattest piss(???) on my hand as she flew away, and a very round early bird of the annual cadas

Happy Friday! When a cicada molts, it emerges from a split in its upper back. The second photo shows a bunch of empty exoskeletons on a tree in my yard. #cicadas #broodXIX
