cicada
This term refers specifically to insects of the family Cicadidae. In common usage, it is often associated with the peak of summer and the auditory experience of a loud, persistent buzzing or droning sound, which is a biological mechanism used by males to attract mates.
While the word is used scientifically, it frequently appears in literary contexts to symbolize the passage of time, the arrival of heat, or the cyclical nature of life due to the insect's long subterranean nymph stage followed by a brief adult life.
