A cicada is an insect belonging to the family Cicadidae, known for its distinctive sound produced by males, which is often associated with warm weather. Cicadas have large, transparent wings and a robust body, and they typically emerge from the ground in large numbers after a long period of development underground, sometimes ranging from a few years to several decades, depending on the species. Their life cycle includes multiple stages, with the adult stage being characterized by their loud mating calls.
