In what season do cicadas sing?

summer

Cicada singing, also known as cicada singing, mainly attracts females to mate. Only male cicadas can sing, and most cicadas will die after mating. Summer is the mating period of cicadas, and the hotter it is, the more lively it is. Because in hot weather, cicadas will become active and have a strong desire for courtship, so cicadas will not sing in other seasons. At noon in summer, cicadas sing most frequently. Because of the decrease of temperature and luminosity, cicadas' activities will be reduced, so cicadas can hardly be heard at night.

The most important task of cicadas is to reproduce. When courting, cicadas don't sing with their mouths, but the abdomen of male cicadas has special vocal organs, which make a loud sound by vibrating the eardrum. Because the vocal muscles can flex about 654.38+ 10,000 times per second, and the cover plate and eardrum are empty, they can play a role of * * *, so their songs are particularly loud and can spread far away to attract female cicadas to mate. The female cicada comes to mate, and then the male cicada dies, and the female cicada dies after laying eggs.
