Small merch haul. Hermit carb enamel pin, fish sticker and mantis shrimp sticker, small cicada charm keychain. Sitting on an unrelated navy book.

I got my goodies from @fossilforager.bsky.social and they're as cute as always.

I'm such a sucker for the mystery keychains. I have both cicadas now for the bug series. 🥹

An illustration of a Northern flicker, a type of woodpecker that is mostly brown and grey with a soft yellow/beige underbelly. It has a red spot on the back of the neck and a black “mustache” extending from the long pointed bill. The face is a light brown/peach color. The plumage is covered with black spots or stripes throughout the body. It is illustrated on an earthy green background and perched on a slab of mossy wood.
