Define Cicada: Cicada Image - If you hear loud noises, be sure to identify male insects, as they have vibrating membranes nearly in the base of their abdomens. The majority of North American cicadas make rhythmical ticks, whines, or buzzes, although the whole song is quite musical.

Will they cause trouble?, you may also ask. Well, they are harmless to humans: no bites and stings, except occasional mistaking your arms for branches. Besides, you might get some earplugs in May and June, when the buzz can reach 120 decibels! In addition, these insects can negatively impact crops and vegetation, but they dont feed on leaves. Thus, the most noticeable damage is caused by egg-laying, because females leave their brood in branches.
