Description: Heraldry, entomology, and general nerdery collide in Valorous Beasties, a series of designs inspired by coats of arms, distinctive unit insignia, and BUGS. Periodic cicadas are known for their long periods of domancy--between 13 and 17 years--a trick that is thought to thwart would-be predators by either starving them out or overwhelming them with sheer numbers when the cicadas emerge. This crest bears the motto "tempore quaeque suo qui facit; ille sapit" or "the wise person is the one who does everything in its proper time," attributed to Ovid.

Description: A salute to Pennsylvania's finest resident: the official Pennsylvania State Amphibian, AKA the Hellbender Salamander. Also known as the Snot Otter, the Allegheny Alligator, the Lasagna Lizard, the Mud Devil, and the Water Dog. Whatever you call him, this little fella appreciates fine hats and even finer brews, so raise a glass to the classiest little dude in the Allegheny.
