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).

Many medieval cicadas are only vaguely insect-like. This odd little beastie is from a 13th century French version of "Liber de natura rerum" by Thomas de Cantimpré (1201-1272). It seems to have the prickles on its underside with which it was thought to absorb its food.

This little green cicada is from a c1300-1325 version of "Der Naturen Bloeme" by Jacob van Maerlant (c1200-c1272).

This particular medieval kingfisher is surprising in that it actually looks like a kingfisher as we know it, even to the colours. It is from the Alphonso Psalter, dated to 1284.
