his year saw a rare and significant event as periodical cicadas from both the 17-year and 13-year broods emerged simultaneously across parts of the United States. These insects spend most of their lives underground, surfacing only once in their lengthy lifespans to mate and lay eggs, creating a spectacular and noisy phenomenon.
When they finally surface, usually in late spring, they transform into adults to complete their life cycle. The synchronized emergence of millions of cicadas — trillions this year—overwhelmspredators,ensuringtheinsects’survival.
In some parts of the world, cicadas are considered a delicacy, enjoyed roasted or fried for their nutty flavor and crunchy texture.Birds,squirrelsandevenpetsbenefitfromthisproteinrichfeast.
Cicadas also contribute to the environment. Their emergence aerates the soil, and their decomposing bodies enrich the soil with essential nutrients. The natural pruning effect of cicadas laying eggs in tree branches stimulates new growth, enhancing forestandgardenhealth.
If you were among those taking a closer look at all the cicadas this spring and summer, you may have spotted some with a curious white plug where their butt should be. They were infected with Massopora, aka butt fungus or zombie fungus. The lethal fungus eats them from the inside out and hijacks their brains, turning them into sex-crazed, spore-spreading zombies, according to National Geographic.. Scientists studying the fungus have found evidence it contains cathinone, a naturally occurring stimulant, and psilocybin, the pyschedelic ingredient in magic mushrooms.

Daniella Hernandez, the artist behind Monarch Manor Oddities, began her journey with a deep fascination for nature and art. The name Monarch Manor originated from her experience breeding monarch butterflies. She had a dream of starting a large greenhouse in Florida that she would call The Monarch Manor, which eventually evolved into the perfect name for her business.
Daniella has always been an artist, painting and drawing insects from a young age. Her interest in entomology and bone art grew over time, leading her to create and sell art since around 2012. "I've always been fascinated by nature," she shares, emphasizing her passion for capturingandmemorializingthebeautyfoundwithinnature.
Her work is known for its unique blend of antique frames, insects, bones and dried florals. When asked about her inspiration, Daniella said, "I want every piece to tell a beautiful story. I come up with ideas for different settings, and the piece just comes to life. I try to stay absolutely true to my own ideas and aesthetics." She finds inspiration as soon as she sees somethingthatcanbeturnedintoavessel,allowingherpiecestonaturallyevolve.
Daniellasourcesmanyofhermaterialsthrough local conservatories and European entomologists. She also receives bones and botanicalsfromfriendslivinginwildernessareas. "I prefer my bones to be very natural, but also properly cleaned," she explains. Most of her vessels are found in local antique and thrift shops, and she often uses metalworking to transformthemintouniquebases.
Foraging plays a significant role in Daniella's creative process. Living in a wooded area near Tampa, Florida, she enjoys exploring her surroundings for inspiration and materials. "I absolutely love foraging. This happens to be a great area for various mushrooms and great spiderwebs!" One of her most memorable finds was a 6-by-6-foot orb weaver spider web.
The oddities community has been incredibly supportive of Daniella's journey as an artist. She expresses gratitude for the many amazing, kind and honest people she has met along the way. "I've made a few great friends who have impacted not just my creative life, but also me as a person," she says.
“I want every piece to tell a beautiful story”
One of the biggest challenges Daniella faces in her work is maintaining originality. Despite the challenges, she finds creating entomology and bone art incredibly gratifying, especially when customers express their delight and appreciation. "It's incredibly rewarding having many repeat customers as well," she says.
Sustainability is a core value in Daniella'swork.Sheensuresthatallher specimens lived full lives in nature and uses secondhand vessels whenever possible. "Everything I use is sourced after life. I strive to use secondhand vessels and natural death insects," she explains, emphasizing the importance of stayingtruetohervalues.
Her pieces have a distinct Victorian aestheticwithamoderntwist,reflecting her personal style. "This aesthetic is literally ME. My entire home is Victorian meets witchy, meets cottagecore," she says. A recurring theme is bows, a lifelong obsession that is evident in her tattoos,jewelryandhomedecor.
Looking ahead, Daniella plans to continue exploring new outlets and ideas for her art. She enjoys collaborations, teaching, large markets, decorating and having her pieces in different shops. "I'm always open to explore new outlets and ideas. I have no crazy plans, but where I am with my business has been fulfilling so far!" she shares.
Daniella's work can be found on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Etsy under the name @monarchmanoroddities.
Night Stalkers
By Penny Carnathan
When most of us tuck in for the night, 70% of our fellow mammalians are just starting their “day.” Bats — those tiny, planetary superheroes — are the best known, but nocturnal creatures of every class work the graveyard shift. Missing out on the nightlife because you’re diurnal?
Dramatic black wings and wicked long tentacles give this tropical its name. It likes shade and warmth — nothing below 50 degrees F. and, like any bat, no direct sun. Plant it in a pot and be prepared for some fussiness. The blooms are well worth it!
Botanical illustrations are courtesy of @swampstone_studio. Sticker packs, prints and more can be found at www.swampstonestudio.com
Bat-faced
Like mammalian bats, you’ve got to look close to see these tiny faces. This sun- and heat-loving shrub can be grown in the landscape in Southern climes, or as a potted plant in colder regions.
Devil’s Trumpet Datura stramonium, Datura innoxia
A poisonous member of the nightshade family, this elegant beauty is not a good choice for homes or landscapes where it might be ingested (accidentally or on purpose) by people or pets! On the flip side, Datura’s large, trumpetshaped blooms are beloved by gardeners and members of the always entertaining sphinx moth (aka hawk moth) family.
Moonflower Ipomoea alba
Saucer-sized white blooms open at dusk, perfuming the air and reflecting the moonlight. They’ll draw you outside to relax in the evening — and maybe catch a glimpse of bats and sphinx moths stopping by for nectar. A cousin of the morning glory, moonflower is an annual in cooler climes.
Jamie’s sculptures are whimsical and grotesque, characterized by oozing, sticky creatures with distinct personalities. She doesn’t stick to a specific niche; instead, she creates what she likes, often on the spot, and the results surprise even her. Her goal is to imbue her creatures with a personality that makes them feel like friends. She finds charm in things that are "ugly" but radiate love or kindness, like a lumpy, slimy creature with kind eyes or an inviting, though snaggle-toothed smile. Jamie also enjoys working with ethically sourced animal remains, presenting them in a way that feels like they are living their best afterlives, blissfully unaware of any creepiness.
Jamie’s creative process often starts with her excitement about new materials rather than a specific design. She’ll get inspired by a new art supply or an item she finds while thrift shopping, then create a project as an excuse to use it. This reverse-engineering approach has led to a garage full of random inventory and a workspace that has taken over her entire house.
Her art is influenced by a mix of technical skill and pure joy. Early inspirations included art created by Morgan's Mutations, Dogzilla Lives and ThatsVile. Morgan Loebel’s attention to detail and body horror, Artist Karen's use of colors and textures for Dogzilla Lives works, and artist Jason's approach to sculpting That'sVile creations for fun rather than perfection all left a mark on Jamie. Now, as part of the art community, Jamie draws inspiration from countless other artists, including Ian Mook, Sarah Sharp and Ken Nash, finding endless motivation to experiment and expand her skills.
Jamie’s seemingly happy-go-lucky personality, which shines through on social media, contrasts with the strange and grotesque nature of her creations. However, she admits that her online presence only captures part of her reality. Behind the scenes, there are long stretches of quiet and introspection. Jamie’s art, a mashup of what she likes and finds interesting, is an extension of her personality. Her creatures often reflect her desire to make friends and to keep the dead close, bringing them to life in joyful, imaginative ways.
The oddities community has been a gamechanger for Jamie. She found a supportive network of like-minded individuals who understand and appreciate her unique perspective. The community has not only helped her evolve as an artist and grow as a person, she says it has improved her mental health and emboldened her artistically.
Creating and selling art comes with challenges, particularly finding time amidst her job, family responsibilities, and maintaining a small farm. But creating are has become an essential part of her life — the missing piece discovered during a global pandemic.
Insect preservation and pinning is a rewarding and extremely accessible hobby. I like to use a spirit (clear alcohol like gin or vodka) relaxation chamber method but there are many others. The materials I typically use are my dried insect, a sealable container, paper towels, gin, dressmaker pins, parchment paper, foam and glue to help frame or reattach pieces.
2
After a few days in a rehydration chamber with a piece of paper towel and gin, check to see if the specimen has softened. Push the first pin through and mount it to your pinning board. These can be purchased or homemade. Then use two pins to straighten and hold the body in place before working on the wings.

You can buy pre-made foam boards or use recycled styrofoamplace two pieces next to each other so the insect’s body can rest in the middle.
Use your tweezers to carefully pull the wings out and into your preferred positioning. I like to start with the top wing and pin it with the parchment paper before setting the bottom. Grid paper can help if you want to make sure both sides are even.

Be careful when you're pinning not to push the pins into the wing, only the parchment and foam. After the wings, you can work on the antenna or legs if you like or leave the specimen to dry. Leave your insect out in a dry spot for several days. This seems to be faster with the spirit method, which is why I favor it.

Once dried, carefully remove your pins while keeping slight pressure on your parchment so as not to damage your dry wings. Remove the body-stabilizing pins and keep your first pin in to help with handling until you are ready to mount in a shadow box or other creation.

ABANDONED PLACES
In 2023, the urban exploration community mourned the loss of Kenwood, an abandoned church and convent in central New York, beloved by explorers like Shayne and Audraof"TheDankTeam."
The couple, who have been exploring and documenting abandoned places across the United States for about four years, discovered Kenwood by chance. Shayne recounted: "One weekend, the wife and I were staying at a hotel located behind this property. After we checked in, we wereeatingsomefoodoutsideintheparkinglotwhenmy wife looks at me and says, 'Hey, looks like there’s a cemetery back there, I’m gonna go check it out.'" This led them to an astonishing find of an old cemetery and abandoned neighborhood with large church-like buildings. "It was the best spot to hang out, climb up to the steeple and church bell, and look at the views," Shayne shared. They visited over 10 times, cherishing the memories and storiesfromtheirexplorations.
Sadly, Kenwood was destroyed by a fire on March 23, 2023. The cause remains unclear, with conflicting stories about what happened. The loss of this historic site is a significant blow to the urban exploration community. For those interested in exploring abandoned places, Shayne advises: "Use your head, be safe and watch your surroundings. Most of all, have fun." Shayne and Audra continue finding new abandoned places and share their discoveries with a growing audience. Follow their journey on Instagram at @thedankteamexplores and @ladydankexplores

His fascination with the macabre and the unusual began at a young age. As a teenager, he discovered a post-mortem store in New Hope, Pennsylvania. "It was filled with macabre curiosities I never could have imagined seeing before I stepped inside. It felt like a world I wanted to explore, and it was comforting," he recalls. His first acquisitions — a squirrel skull and a skeleton key — remain proudly displayed in his Wunderkammer room. That initial encounter sparkedalifelongpassion,furtherfueledbythetelevisionshow"Oddities."
The community of oddities collectors has provided Cole with a sense of connection. He began collecting to create a space where he felt comfortable, which he describes as a "personal museum." The journey has allowed him to create relationships with people from around the world. A resident of central New Jersey, he cherishes meeting new friends and fellow collectors atin-personshowsandexposacrossthecountry.

Sourcing his fascinating finds is an adventure in itself and has resulted in developing online relationships with people around the world. He spends countless early mornings and late nights in search of unique items. His efforts have allowed him to acquire practically every item he set out to find. He recalls starting with just $2,000 in his bank account, investing $1,500 into inventory. That risky move ultimately enabled him to fund his collection entirely through buying andselling.
For those new to the world of oddities and antiques collecting, Cole offers valuable advice: "Save up for quality pieces that will stand the test of time while also speaking to your soul. Don't be afraid to ask questions when you are unsure about a particular item or subject; you will learn muchmorefromaskingaroundthansearchingthewebinmostcases."
Reflecting on his journey, Cole expresses gratitude for the experiences he has had and the many people he has met. He encourages others to pursue their passions with dedication, because anyone can achieve the feeling of living inside their own personal museum. Cole can be found on Instagram under the name @TheMozeleum, where he regularly updates followers on itemsavailableforpurchaseandupcomingshows.
Cole’s personal museum is filled with rare antiques and medical specimens from around the world. Treasures include an antique elephant ear coffee table, ouija boards dating back to 1891, medical human skulls and bones displaying deformities and pathologies, and a variety of Victorian medical and surgical tools.
Harvest
Author Agustin Guerrero
The locusts came as plagues often do – upon both our houses. He lived on the east bank; I occupied the west. Neither of our homesteads were to be spared. I watched as famine crested the ridge and entered our valley, the horde splitting evenly across both sides of the river. They came with no warning - at least, no warning we bothered to heed. They were simply there, inexplicable and undeniable. The beating of wings silenced every other sound in our valley.
My neighbor emerged from his home, features hazy amongst the swarm of insects. His silhouette mirrored mine, the same disbelief in his posture. I watched as he angrily waved his laborers forward to combat the bugs. I rallied my own staff with promises of riches if they could save our crop. Men and women on both sides rushed out to defend the land, motivated by fear and greed. They waved arms and blankets in an attempt to disrupt the horde. When that failed, they armed themselves with insecticides, poisoning the air. The locusts would not be deterred. It was not long before even those most loyal to us had fled, surrendering our lands to the swarm.
The cloud fell upon our holdings with equal ferocity. His fields of wheat were consumed as callously as my grove. The buzzing rose in volume as excitement grew, the swarm seeking to satiate itself. As the valley faded from green to a barren brown, the locusts’ frenzy only increased. They found our private stashes and hidden bunkers, devouring everything. Still, they were not satisfied.

FICTION
I saw my neighbor forcing his way toward the riverbank, swatting at the locusts. I made my way toward my side of the river. We stared across the water, sizing each other up. He opened his mouth and began yelling something at mecasting blame, aspersions, or some mix of both. His words were consumed by the horde. As I watched, uncomprehending, he began to scream more animatedly. I imagined spittle flying from his lips as he raged. He opened his mouth to draw in another breath, to continue his tirade, when one of the insects flew inside.
His eyes widened as his screams were choked off, the locust forcing its way down his throat. It was followed by another, and another, a line forming around him.
a deflated sack of skin animated by the writhing masses within.
I tried to return to my home, but the thought of all the land now available just across the water made me stop. There was money to be made. The locusts would ultimately profit if I were allowed to seed the land. I just needed to make them understand. The benefits would trickle down eventually. I opened my mouth to reason with them, to make them see that I alone would satisfy their hunger. They agreed.

A young girl named Marilyn met an untimely end in 1919 Boston, but her beloved doll, which holds portions of her cremains, is said to be haunted by her restless spirit. Those who have encountered the doll report unsettling experiences: whispers in the night, the feeling of being watched, and inexplicable movements, suggesting that Marilyn’s spirit lingers close.

Artifacts and Their Stories
A closer look into the collection of Rick Morgan
This Victorian urn contains the ashes of a young girl, her portrait meticulously painted on its exterior. Over the years, there have been numerous sightings of the girl in a white gown, often lingering near her final resting place.
This cape belonged to a 10-year-old girl, believed to be named Elizabeth, who wore it to her brother's funeral. During the funeral, Elizabeth spooked the horses, causing them to trample her to death. The cape, which has what is believed to be Elizabeth's blood in the top right corner, is said to be haunted by her restless spirit, with reports of eerie voices and unexplained movements surrounding it.
This writing box, dating back to the 1870s, was owned by a woman named Sarah. Following her husband's untimely death at sea, Sarah is said to have used the box and its mirror in an attempt to communicate with him. The box contains poignant relics of Sarah's life: a lock of her hair, a photograph, a lock of her husband's hair, his photograph, a piece of cloth, and a skeleton key to their home. Prior owners of the box have reported chilling encounters — sightings of Sarah's ghost, disembodied voices, and the sound of sorrowful weeping.
Q: What was the first haunted item you added to your collection?
A: My first haunted acquisition was a child’s Victorian porcelain portrait cremation urn, an exceptional and rare piece. During the Victorian era, cremation was an uncommon practice, typically reserved for the affluent. This urn, which is sealed, holds the cremated remains of a child, whose spirit is intimately connected to her ashes and the urn itself.
Q: Do you believe all your items are genuinely haunted?
A: While I can’t definitively prove or disprove their haunted nature, I rely heavily on intuition and thorough vetting. It’s essential to have items investigated by experienced paranormal experts or psychics to ensure their authenticity as much as possible.
I also believe that it takes time for a haunted item to interact with its new environment. Spirits, much like people, can be introverted or extroverted, and building trust is key.
Q: Have you ever had to get rid of an item because it had harmful effects?
A: I adhere to a steadfast rule: my home is a sanctuary of refuge and solace. To maintain this atmosphere, I ensure that no item — whether a rare antique or a haunted artifact — enters my home if it carries harmful energy.
Q: How do your family/friends feel about your collection?
A: Most of my friends are fellow collectors of oddities, and some even own several hearses and belong to hearse clubs. They are always eager to hear about the latest addition and its unique backstory.
My family, on the other hand, tolerates my collection but doesn’t share the same passion. They aren’t collectors and prefer the “live, laugh, love” decor from big-box stores.
Q: Do you have advice for someone interested in starting their own collection of haunted items?
A: Conduct thorough research and ask plenty of questions. It is important to gather as much documentation as possible to validate the item’s history. Building a network of knowledgeable investigators and friends can be invaluable. The scope of your collection may initially seem broad, but as your interests develop, it may be helpful to narrow it down to a specific theme or type of item.
