Common Cicada

Lyristes plebejusGreen

The Common Cicada spends most of its life hidden underground as a nymph, drinking sap from plant roots. When development is complete, it climbs a trunk, splits its old skin, and emerges as a winged adult.

Overview

The animal behind the card

Male cicadas produce an intense song with vibrating organs called tymbals. Warm Mediterranean days can fill with their chorus as males advertise to females from trees and shrubs.

Adults and nymphs feed on plant fluids without chewing leaves. Their abandoned skins remain attached to bark, while their emergence provides a seasonal feast for birds, reptiles, and small mammals.

Bestiary facts

A male cicada amplifies its song with hollow abdominal chambers that act like resonators.
