cicadas
- Cicadas have their hearing organs in their stomachs, at the base of the abdomen
- A cicada has 5 eyes. 2 big red ones and 3 smaller ones to detect light
- Cicadas can spend up to 17 years underground eating tree roots
- Male cicadas make the loudest noise in the insect world, the exact opposite of that in the human world
- The African cicada clicks at up to 106 dB, louder than a chainsaw at 100 dB
