I am making notable improvements in my illustrations. What a reprieve fromwords and lectures. I can study, think, and relax more while taking care to lavish inthe solitude of drawing.Spencer Black also wrote about many of the insects and plants that he studied. He was particularlyinterested in insects that underwent a metamorphosis. The process of transformation fascinated theyoung scientist, and he often sketched the cicada and made regular mention of it in his journals andletters.November 22, 1869In the summer, when the cicadas emerge from the ground, they transform into awinged insect, sing their song, mate, lay eggs, and soon die. The pupae hatch fromtheir eggs in a tree then fall to the ground and burrow deep into the earth, wherethey live for more than a decade.Such evanescence; to emerge from the ground after such a long time and thentransform, gaining wings. They are born once again from the womb of their ownbody, which is abandoned as an empty shell, and then they leave the world. Thistype of metamorphosis (though not as dramatic as that of the butterfly or moth, in asuperficial context) is, in my esteem, one of the more significant. After such a longtime in darkness, we can live for only a short while.* * *December 1, 1869I have become interested in a different assignment given to me by Professor JeanDeLain. He needs several illustrations of small and curious insects illustrated for abook he is compiling; the insects gathered are all dead, carefully packed andpinned. They have arrived from many locations of the world: Guinea, the Malaysianislands, Africa and Asia. It is exciting to study the smallest differences in theirparticular designs. There is little separation between man and insect, save themarvels solely unique to their respective functions in nature.
