Cicadas also often sing in chorus, which makes it more difficult for a predator to locate an individual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCicadas are so conspicuous that many of their common names were initially given to them by children. As a result cicadas probably have the most colourful common names in the insect world. Some of these include: Black Prince (Psaltoda plaga), Double Drummer, Floury Baker, and the Green Grocer or Yellow Monday, Cyclochila australasiae.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCicada facts:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly male cicadas sing.
