The Flight of the Cicadas - Real Cryptotympana Acuta Glass Dome Diorama

Capture a breathtaking moment of synchronised flight with this premium, three-dimentional entomology showcase.

Handcrafted for alternative interior curators, dark academia enthusiasts, and natural history collectors, this magnificent glass dome features a rare double-flight display of genuine Black Clearwing Cicadas (Cryptotympana Acuta). Native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia, these striking insects are celebrated for their glossy, dark-armoured bodies, prominent white markings, and broad, glass-like clear wings featuring intricate, lace-like black venation.

In this unique arrangement, both cicadas are masterfully pinned and set in full wing-spread positions, soaring around a central pillar of natural weathered driftwood. Their crystalline wings create a stunning layered effect over a cloud of dried white Gypsophila (Baby's Breath) and a lush bed of maintenance-free green faux moss. The entire organic scene is showcased inside a clear glass display cloche resting on a finished natural wood base.

2 x 100% real, sustainably sourced Clearwing Cicadas (Cryptotympana Acuta). Both are professionally prepped, relaxed and set in a matching full-flight configuration to showcase the complete wing venation.

Dimensions approximately 8.75inches (21cm) x 7.5inches (18.5cm).

Care Instructions: To protect the fragile wing membranes and keep the dried flowers from fading, display your dome away from high-moisture rooms and direct, harsh sunlight. Dust the glass exterior with a soft microfibre cloth as needed.
