One of a series of four Netsuke Japanese wood-root carvings of cicadas. $24.95 at Cincinnati Museum Center.

Faster than the cicadas wriggling out of the ground and shedding their shells, entrepreneurs are capitalizing on the craze, churning out everything from veiled hats to T-shirts to jewelry and wooden renditions of the orange-eyed flyers.

T-shirts have the lion's (or bug's?) share of the market, with one of the most charming from Laura Black and husband Martin Buchanan of Mount Lookout. Following her confession of bug fright, fellow workers at H.S.R. Business to Business Advertising in Blue Ash pasted 3D color copies all over Black's office. She started wearing them pasted on her clothes for fun.

When the bugs actually take flight in force, "I thought I'd run screaming from them," she says, leading to the shirts designed by Martin that say "Remember, don't run with your mouth open."

For one-stop shopping, we recommend Cincinnati Museum Center's gift shops for silly and serious buys and www.cincycicada.com for frightful looking bugs on bibs, mouse pads, coasters and more.

Have fun. Don't fret. It won't happen again till 2021.
