Exact prompt · Original
Depict one original cicada resting beneath a broad garden leaf at night as a hand-pulled drypoint print. Place the insect slightly below center, with a wet stone wall receding behind it and a small opening of pale night sky in the upper corner. Let closely scratched lines describe the transparent wings, while dense burr-dark strokes gather under the leaf and along the wall joints. Leave a thin veil of plate tone across the background, then wipe selective highlights into the wing veins and damp stones. Allow subtle uneven ink pressure at the edges, but keep the insect anatomy legible and the composition calm. Use black ink and one muted blue-gray printing pass on off-white paper. No lettering, logos, or watermarks.
