DESCRIPTION Cicada
Ayuthia spectabile - AKA Ghost Cicada. Cloudy wing colouration with a hint of palest blue on this pretty cicada.
Cicadas are the loudest insects in the world and there are more than 200 species in Australia.
It is thought that the sound produced by some communal species can act as a defense against predatory birds and some are even loud enough (120 decibels) to be painful to the human ear. Cicadas also often sing in chorus, which makes it more difficult for a predator to locate an individual.
