Description
An Aztec Cicada Zammara Azteca is seen in Yaxha Archaeological site in Peten, Guatemala. Zammara is a genus of cicadas. These species are large cicadas that are generally bright blue-green in color. Like other cicadas, these can produce loud calls; Zammara tympanum, for example, makes a `winding up-like pulsating buzz.` Zammara are found in the Neotropics, especially in equatorial regions, where they live in tropical forest habitat. The genus is characterized by tarsi the `feet` of the insect that are divided into 2 segments, or tarsomeres; other genera in the tribe have 3 tarsomeres in each tarsus.
