Cicadas: A Buzzing Symphony of Summer
Cicadas Emerge from Their Underground Slumber
Cicadas, also known as harvest flies or jar flies, are large winged insects renowned for their distinctive vibrating sound.
Every summer, countless cicadas emerge from their subterranean homes after spending years underground as nymphs. These insects, which vary in size and color depending on the species, are typically dark-colored with transparent wings. Male cicadas are known for their loud, repetitive songs, which they produce by vibrating their tymbals, specialized organs located on their abdomens.
Cicadas play an important role in the ecosystem as both a food source for birds, bats, and other animals and as a natural aerator of the soil. Their emergence from the ground is a significant event in many regions, marking the arrival of summer and providing a unique natural soundscape.
