- Description
- The cicadas are a group of insects belonging to the order Hemiptera which comprises a diverse range of insects including the bugs, leafhoppers, aphids, scale insects etc. The Hemiptera are characterised by specialised mouth parts that are adapted for piercing and sucking up sap from host plants or animal juices from their prey. All cicadas are plant feeders and can be extremely camouflaged when sitting and feeding on a branch, although the males give themselves away by their persistent, often high pitched calls.
