Our final medieval cicada is remarkable for actually looking like a cicada even to the fine hairs on the legs. It is from an early manuscript of 'L'Acerba etas' by Cecco d'Ascoli (1257-1327). #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #beasts #cicada #cicadas

Many medieval cicadas are only vaguely insect-like. This odd little beastie is from a 13th century French version of "Liber de natura rerum". It seems to have the prickles on its underside with which it was thought to absorb its food. #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #beasts #cicada #cicadas

This little green cicada is from a c1300-1325 version of "Der Naturen Bloeme" by Jacob van Maerlant (c1200-c1272). It seems to have a mouth which may explain its anxious expression as medieval cicadas were said to lack mouths . #medievalmanuscripts #medievalbeasts #beasts #cicada #cicadas
