Rare Giant Black Cicada (Tacua speciosa)
I was so excited to find a few of these incredibly hard to get cicadas. They are a striking, beautiful species (Tacua speciosa) and one of the largest in the world. They have black wings with stunning orange colouration and a yellow striped abdomen (some have a turquoise colour, these do not). At one point in history, they were the most illustrated cicada species in the world!
These specimens measure around 160-165mm in wingspan.
Each specimen has been carefully preserved and arranged, then mounted into a shadow box frame with a white background and a black matt border.
These frames are 8" x 10". Height: 21.5cm Width: 26.5cm
The back of the shadow box frame has a hook for hanging on the wall and a stand for displaying on a surface. A beautiful glass front protects your specimen from dust. These shadow boxes are 3cm deep.
