cicala

Glow-worms and fireflies gleamed like diamonds among the foliage, and outside was heard the splashing of the tiny waves and the shrill cry of the cicala.

The cicalas whirred in the foliage of the oleanders, and a brown owl screamed in its shikarring flight over the roof of the house.

There is nothing which indicates that he cares for nature in any of its phases, and he calls the cicala a locust.

A cicala hidden in the heart of a pomegranate flower sang shrilly now and again.

Close to her ear a cicale chirped, monotonously bright; far off, from every hill, the frogs began their evening singing.
