Cicada Orni relaxing and courting on an apricoat tree in the summer! You can hear the sound of the cicada courting. Filmed with the #Laowa supermacro 2:1 60mm
🏞 Adult #cicadas can be encountered in summer feeding on sap from trees or shrubs, with their mouthparts well adapted for piercing and sucking. Only males produce their well-known calling song, a clicking sound caused by the contraction and relaxation of abdominal membranes. This cicada scream has the function of sexual attraction for females. Usually males sing in aggregations of many individuals on sunny tree branches. When the males are approached by the females, the courtship takes place, in which cicadas repeatedly hug and touch each other with their legs. At the end of this process they mate in the same place.
👀 Cicadas are tricky to see! they camouflage and stop making their sound as soon as you approach..try to make them used to your presence by staying still a few minutes while you look around for them
