Cicalas are small insects that create a distinct and loud chirping sound. They are also known as cicadas or locusts. However, there are several other synonyms that can be used for cicalas such as tree crickets, harvest flies, and jarflies. These insects are known for their distinctive sound that is often heard during hot summer days. Cicalas are commonly found in wooded areas near trees, where they feed on sap. They are active during the day and are often seen flying from tree to tree. Despite their loud and sometimes annoying sound, cicalas play an important role in the ecosystem by providing food for other animals and aiding in the pollination of plants.
