Paper cicadas


These colourful paper cicadas were originally made to inhabit the reeds near Foggy and Cloud's camp site. Although they don't appear in the final book, now you know they are there, behind the scenes, chirping in a papery sort of way.

      You can also try searching the origami database if you'd really like to track it down — good luck!
