Empress Cicada
SPECIES: Pomponia imperatoria
ORIGIN: Thailand
FRAME: 20 x 20 x Depth 5cm
DESCRIPTION: This impressive specimen is huge! Brown colouration with clear lattice like wings. Unlike crickets and grasshoppers which make sounds by rubbing their wings and legs together, male cicadas produce sound by vibrating special membrane-like structures (tymbals) on their abdomen.
The male’s enlarged abdomen is mostly filled with an air sac that functions as a resonance chamber thus greatly amplifying their songs.
