Silver ring cicada

Insects are incredibly fascinating and that also applies to cicadas. Some species can easily live underground for a decade or more and then come up all together en masse, making for a huge spectacle! And like many other animals, cicadas make noise to find a mate. Thanks to their hollow abdomen, which acts as a sound box, they can be extremely loud: some species reach up to 120 decibels, comparable to the siren of the fire brigade or a solid rock concert.

An ideal gift for entomologists and anyone with a passion and fascination for nature.
