Cicada

Hemiptera sp.

Description:

Cicadas alternatively spelled as Cicala or Cicale, are insects in the order Hemiptera. Cicadas are in the superfamily Cicadoidea. Their eyes are prominent, though not especially large, and set wide apart on the anterior lateral corners of the frons. The wings are well-developed, with conspicuous veins; in some species the wing membranes are wholly transparent, whereas in many others the proximal parts of the wings are clouded or opaque and some have no significantly clear areas on their wings at all.
