Cicadele, insectele care „asurzesc” Grecia în fiecare vară. Pot atinge 120 de decibeli: „Ca un avion care decolează”

Cicadas are a prominent feature of Greece's summer landscape, producing sounds that can reach up to 120 decibels. Their loud calls, primarily made by males to attract females, create a distinctive atmosphere for tourists. While some find the sound relaxing, others may find it bothersome. Cicadas are often hidden in trees, making them difficult to spot despite their noise. They can live for years underground before emerging as adults, which have a short lifespan. Although closely associated with Greece, cicadas are found worldwide, with over 2,500 species. Their connection to Greek mythology symbolizes immortality and the passage of time.
