Cicada • Order Hemiptera - Family Cicadidae / Tettigarctidae
Many a person growing up in Australia will have memories of those hot summers days filled with the deafening drone of cicadas. Some summers would be louder than others, and many a child would have spotted the fragile carcass left behind, and marvelled at the colourful bug. I have memories of our puppy chasing the noisy insect, almost gently catching it in its mouth, then tossing the cicada into the air. Whilst all the while, the cicada filled the air with its drone, exciting the puppy further.

After you have browsed our Cicada information, check out some of the listed link resources with heaps of information and images about Cicadas.
