Several months ago, we highlighted Isabel Wherry’s daughter, Aspen, who has an obsession with cicadas. Time marches on, and cicadas are still a big part of the girl’s life. Like it or not, Isabel must deal with them, too. Aspen is using her collection of shed cicada exoskeletons to enhance decorative Christmas lights. @isabel.wherryy Truly no one like her #fyp #toddlersoftiktok #toddlerlife #toddlerstyle #buggirl #nature #funnykids #entomology #momlife #pov #mygirl #thisis3 #toddleractivity #toddlers ♬ Monkeys Spinning Monkeys – Kevin MacLeod & Kevin The Monkey With a spark of horrifying creative genius, Aspen wanted to dress up a strand of plain white Christmas lights. The girl painstakingly added an empty cicada exoskeleton to each individual bulb. We don’t know where Aspen intends to hang her creepy creation, but her mom will find an appropriate place.

When they fly into a window, it sounds like a flying school bus hitting the glass. As they grow, they shed their exoskeleton, leaving it behind. Aspen has collected hundreds of discarded exoskeletons, and they have become her favorite toy. TikTok user Frogdaughter4 comments, “There should be a word for being impressed and horrified all at the same time… I’m Impressified.” That prompted other users to try their skill at inventing a word that expresses both raw emotional responses. The three most common suggestions are imporrified, horressed, and terripressed, although impressified is the clear winner. For one user, a single word was not enough, so they settled on morbidly impressed. Image from TikTok. Whether you love or hate them, cicadas will be around. Cicadas emerge from the ground in their nymph stage. They climb a vertical surface and shed their exoskeleton. These are what Aspen collects. Cicadas are always around, and Aspen will continue to collect them. Please share. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
