Cicada Insect Newly Hatched Face Closeup Royalty-Free Stock Photo

Cicadas are cryptic, have prominent eyes set wide apart, short antennae, and membranous front wings. They have an exceptionally loud song, produced in most species by the rapid buckling and unbuckling of drum-like tymbals. One exclusively North American genus, Magicicada which spend most of their lives as underground nymphs, emerge in predictable intervals of 13 or 17 years, depending on the species and the location.
