A cicada is an insect belonging to the family Cicadidae, known for its distinctive sound produced by males during mating season. Cicadas are characterized by their large, bulging eyes, transparent wings, and a robust body. They are often found in warm climates and are recognized for their life cycle, which can include several years of development underground as nymphs before emerging as adults. The most famous species, the periodic cicada, emerges in large numbers at specific intervals, typically every 13 or 17 years.
