Jake's Brood X Cicada

This is my take on the Brood X or 17 year cicada. Tied with easy to find materials, with a relatively straight forward design. Enjoy!

I just tied this and it is so fun and probably one of the coolest flies I’ve ever tied thank you 🙏

[@JamesBarnett-lw1uo]

One of the best cicadas I’ve seen

You not only tied a nice pattern, but you also gave an excellent narration that will help me to tie it. Thanks!

By far the best pattern I've seen in preparation of Brood X. Thanks for sharing.

I use sparrow feathers for my wings. Push the quills into the foam with super glue the tie wrap.
