Valorous Beasties: Cicada [Color Ver.] Kids T-Shirt

Heraldry, entomology, and general nerdery collide in Valorous Beasties, a series of designs inspired by coats of arms, distinctive unit insignia, and BUGS. Periodic cicadas are known for their long periods of domancy--between 13 and 17 years--a trick that is thought to thwart would-be predators by either starving them out or overwhelming them with sheer numbers when the cicadas emerge. This crest bears the motto "tempore quaeque suo qui facit; ille sapit" or "the wise person is the one who does everything in its proper time," attributed to Ovid.
