Does the cicada noise remind anyone else of the DC Metro, or is it just me? The first time I heard them, I was reminded of Brickfest! Anyway, check out my LUGNET page and let me know what you think!

Very nice work!!!! I, too, have built a cicada, I just haven’t gotten any pics yet. I used pieces from the Wild Collection set (409?/41??) released last year. Frankly, I think your use of minifig arms better reflects the legs of the little critters. I’ve heard from several different people that there’s been a blue-eyed variety found; they’re supposed to be pretty rare. Since I only have enough of the chosen brick to build one, I may have to switch out the eyes and post a pick of a blue-eyed one too. My only beef with using the clear wings contained in Wild Collection is that mine looks more like a giant fly than a cicada, but I was still satisfied with the end result.

Play On!!! M
