Cicadas also have a 3-jointed beak, an abdomen of six segments, prominent compound eyes, and three eyes (ocelli).

Description
Cicadas are of the Family Cicadidae, Order Homoptera. They represent the genera Magicicada and Tibicen. About 1,500 species of cicadas are known, usually occupying deserts, grasslands and forests. More than 100 species are found in North. The Dog-Day Cicada (Tibicen) appears yearly in midsummer, but there are also periodic cicadas. The most common of these is the black and green Harvest Fly, which matures in two years.
The best-known of these is the 17-Year Cicada (Magicicada), which lives only in the United States. After 17 years of dormancy underground, this species emerges for 5 weeks of activity in the sunlight, and then dies. With the exception of the termite queen, this cicada is probably the longest living insect. The 17-year Cicada is often incorrectly called the 17-year Locust. True locusts are grasshoppers.
Life Cycle
From June through September, adult males sit in treetops throughout much of North America producing rhythmic ticks, buzzes or whines to attract females. These "songs" result from the vibration of their drum-like abdominal membranes (timbals).
