<h1 id="bocydium-tintinnabuliferum">Bocydium tintinnabuliferum</h1>A LoRA for generating the strange and charming treehopper Bocydium tintinnabuliferum.This tiny insect is famous for its surreal pronotal ornament: a black, branching structure rising above the body, with several bulb-like spheres and thin horn-like extensions. It looks almost like a miniature biological antenna, a fantasy creature, or a strange natural sculpture.<h2 id="about-the-insect">About the insect</h2>Bocydium tintinnabuliferum is a treehopper belonging to the order Hemiptera, the same broad order as true bugs such as stink bugs. Like other hemipteran insects, it undergoes incomplete metamorphosis, meaning it develops from egg to nymph to adult without a pupal stage.The genus Bocydium, including this species, is distributed in South America. Members of this genus are known for their bizarre and highly distinctive body shapes, especially the strange horn-like structures rising from the pronotum.<h2 id="about-the-name">About the name</h2>There are multiple explanations for the origin of the genus name Bocydium.One interpretation connects it to the Greek ōkys, meaning “quick” or “swift,” combined with the diminutive suffix -idium, suggesting something small and quick. In this interpretation, the initial B may have been inserted for pronunciation or emphasis.Another interpretation connects the name to Greek roots related to bous, meaning “ox” or “cow,” and kydos, meaning “ornament” or “glory.” Under this explanation, the name may refer to the strange ox-like ornamental structures seen in some treehoppers.The species name tintinnabuliferum comes from tintinnabulum, meaning “a little bell” or “bell ornament,” combined with the suffix -fer, meaning “bearing” or “carrying.” In other words, the name suggests something like “bearing little bells.”The original inspiration behind the species name is the ancient Roman tintinnabulum, a wind-chime-like protective charm used as a good-luck or anti-evil ornament.Unfortunately, this LoRA is not good at generating the ancient Roman magical wind chime itself. It is trained for the insect, not for the Roman object.<h2 id="what-this-lora-is-good-at">What this LoRA is good at</h2>This LoRA is intended to help generate:<ul><li>Bocydium-like treehoppers</li><li>small surreal insects</li><li>black branching horn structures</li><li>bulb-like spherical ornaments above the body</li><li>macro insect photography style</li><li>unusual natural-history illustration</li><li>fantasy-insect designs based on real treehopper anatomy</li></ul><h2 id="suggested-prompt">Suggested prompt</h2>Bocydium tintinnabuliferum treehopper, tiny insect, black branching horn structure above the body, four bulb-like spherical ornaments, orange-brown body, yellow legs, transparent wings, macro photography, natural history, detailed insect anatomy, sharp focus<h2 id="suggested-negative-prompt">Suggested negative prompt</h2>extra legs, extra wings, deformed insect body, broken antennae, melted anatomy, blurry, low quality, incorrect horn structure, missing bulb ornaments, text, watermark<h2 id="notes">Notes</h2>This LoRA focuses on the insect’s distinctive silhouette and horn-like ornament. Depending on the base model, the number and placement of the spherical bulbs may vary, so prompt reinforcement may be needed if you want a more accurate biological shape.
