In recent days, I encountered three different representatives of the cicadas (family <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicadidae">Cicadidae</a>) here in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagaytay">Tagaytay</a>.
</p>
<p>
Cicadas not only reach astonishing sizes for insects (with some species having body lengths over ten centimeters and wingspans exceeding 20 cm), but they possess a bizarre, almost 'alien-like' beauty.
</p>
<p>
Male cicadas of the family Cicadidae can produce loud noises using their <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tymbal">tymbals</a> on both sides of the first abdominal segment, which consist of sound membranes set into vibration by muscles, with an underlying pair of air-filled sacs acting as a resonating chamber to amplify the sound. The sounds produced serve among other things to attract females and establish territory boundaries.
</p>
<p>
Remarkable features of these <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemimetabolism">hemimetabolous</a> insects, besides their ability to sing, is the long development period of their larvae: while the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imago">imagoes</a> (adult cicadas) survive only a few months, the larval development usually spans about two to five years, with larvae of the genus <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magicicada"><em>Magicicada</em></a> even being able to persist in the ground for up to 17 years before completing their development into imagoes.

In den letzten Tagen begegneten mir hier in <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagaytay_City">Tagaytay</a> gleich drei unterschiedliche Vertreter der Singzikaden (Familie <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singzikaden">Cicadidae</a>).
</p>
<p>
Singzikaden erreichen nicht nur für Insekten erstaunliche Maße (so gibt es Arten mit über zehn Zentimetern Körperlänge und Flügelspannweiten von mehr als 20 cm), sondern sind von einer bizarren, fast 'alienhaft' anmutenden Schönheit.
</p>
<p>
Ihren Namen verdanken Singzikaden den bei männlichen Exemplaren der Lauterzeugung dienenden, beidseits am ersten Segment des Abdomens sitzenden <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tymbalorgan">Tymbalorganen</a>, die aus von Muskeln in Schwingungen versetzbaren Schallmembranen bestehen, wobei ein darunter liegendes Paar luftgefüllter Säckchen als den Schall verstärkender Resonanzboden fungiert. Die dadurch erzeugten Töne dienen unter anderem der Anlockung der Weibchen und der Festsetzung von Reviergrenzen.
</p>
<p>
Bemerkenswert bei diesen <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemimetabole_Insekten">hemimetabolen</a> Insekten ist neben ihrem Singvermögen die lange Entwicklungsdauer ihrer Larven: Während die <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imago_(Zoologie)">Imagines</a> (die erwachsenen Zikaden) nur wenige Monate überleben, erstreckt sich die Entwicklung der Larven über eine Zeitspanne von meist ca. zwei bis fünf Jahren, wobei Larven der Gattung <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magicicada"><em>Magicicada</em></a> gar bis zu 17 Jahre bis zum Abschluss ihrer Entwicklung zur Imago im Boden überdauern können.
