Definition & Bedeutung von "harvest fly"

What is a "harvest fly"?

A harvest fly, also known as the cicada, is a unique insect characterized by its loud buzzing sound and striking appearance. These insects are known for their distinct life cycle, spending most of their lives underground as nymphs before emerging as adults. The adult harvest fly is recognized for its large, transparent wings and vibrant colors. They are often associated with warm summer months when their characteristic buzzing fills the air. The male cicadas produce loud calls to attract females, creating a chorus of sound in trees and bushes. While harmless to humans, the presence of harvest flies can be a sign of the changing seasons and the familiar sound of summer.
