Cicada (Platypleura octoguttata) is a true cicada belonging to the family Cicadidae. They are large insects characterized by their membranous wings, triangular-formation of three ocelli on the top of their heads, and their short, bristle-like antennae. Cicadas are known for the loud airborne sounds that males of most species make to attract mates.
