Important! Please read before bidding.
Payment is expected to be made within one week (7 days). If payment cannot be made within that time frame, all I ask is that you contact me to let me know of your intentions. If payment is not received or I haven't heard from you, the order will be cancelled and relisted. 
I cannot hold specimens once you have paid. Ebay considers the order closed and I am required to ship within my shipping time of three days or it will be considered late and I will receive a "defect" on my account.

For sale is a lot of twenty (20) very nice unidentified 13-Year Periodical Cicadas. These are from the Great Southern Brood XIX (19). They are dead, dried, unmounted, and carefully packaged in four groups of five to prevent damage during shipment. They will need to be rehydrated in order to reposition the legs, antennae, and/or wings. For your convenience, collection data is supplied below to allow you to cut and paste to labeling software. It is illegal to import or export insects without a permit, so therefore, these can only be shipped to a U.S. address. These will be shipping via USPS Ground Advantage. Purchase price will include shipping at no extra charge. Please send any messages or questions through Ebay's messaging system. Thank you for looking!

Order:  Hemiptera (True Bugs)

Condition: Wild caught. Very good condition. Unfortunately, the bright red eyes fade to black after death. Wings of a few could be slightly crimped. See pictures for actual specimens in this lot. Last picture is of live specimens taken while collecting.

COMBINED SHIPPING: 
Combined shipping is the best way to save real money on my auctions. Best shipping costs are always achieved by requesting an invoice. Small orders (1-4 items) are usually handled well by Ebay, but because insect specimens are very light in weight, I can often quote a much lower price for shipping on larger orders than the Ebay calculator. Please do not pay as you win for I can no longer correct shipping after you have paid, nor can I issue a refund for over payment on shipping costs.
Please adhere to the following guidelines in order to receive a discount on shipping:
Do not pay for auction items as you win. When you are done, please request a total from me and I will send an invoice to pay from.
Fixed-priced items need to be "Added To Your Cart". You may then simply checkout to get your discount. The shopping cart should only be used for items you plan to purchase in a short amount of time.
