A dramatic pairing of two beautifully contrasting cicada species, displayed together against a deep black background. This framed natural history display features an Ayuthia spectabilis, commonly known as the White Ghost Cicada, alongside a Tosena splendida, whose striking turquoise-blue hindwings provide a vivid counterpoint to the pale specimen above.
The White Ghost Cicada is distinguished by its powdery white abdomen and translucent wings, delicately patterned with smoky black markings and warm golden veining. Below it, the darker Tosena splendida features a glossy black body accented with golden markings and flashes of soft turquoise-blue across its hindwings. Together, the two specimens showcase the remarkable diversity of coloration found among cicadas.
Both specimens are displayed with wings spread within a black shadowbox-style frame and surrounded by a subtle light border. The contrasting coloration and symmetrical presentation make this an especially striking piece for a natural history collection, gallery wall, curiosity cabinet, or nature-inspired interior.
