cicada

Tired of loosing your voice and hurting your hands? The Cicada Cheering Fan is the perfect party favor for every event from a Chuck E. Cheese's birthday to a day of Nascar, pro wrestling and parades.

The patent pending Cicada Cheering Fan is a percussion instrument and noisemaker like nothing ever heard. It's named after the cicada insect heard making noise in trees around the world.

The cicada insect creates four distinct sounds. The Cicada Cheering Fan creates four distinct sounds.

The cicada insect uses the sound as a mating call. The Cicada Cheering Fan allows you to use the sound to support your team, celebrate parties or make music.

The sound from the cicada insect seems to bounce from tree to tree. You'll be able to create a similar effect because no two Cicada Cheering Fans are likely to make the same sound at the same time. The sound from the Cicada Cheering Fan will seem to change as it travels around the room or stadium. The wave will never be the same.

Most cicadas live underground for 2 to 5 years. When full-grown, the adult digs its way to the surface, attaches itself to a plant or wall, sheds its skin and then flies into the trees where the male begins its mating call. Both the male and female live for only 4 to 6 weeks above ground. They die soon after mating. The male usually first, the female after laying her eggs.

The female lays her eggs in twigs and soon after the eggs hatch. Once hatched, the newborn cicada immediately drops to the ground and burrows beneath the soil. Two to five years later they dig their way to the surface to begin the process all over again. Some will wait up to 17 years before coming to the surface.

While the young cicada grows underground it feeds on roots causing little or no detectable harm to the plant. Some females cause superficial splinter wounds when they insert eggs into twigs.

Most cicadas are never seen...only heard. The sound created comes from a pair of tymbals or domed, drum-like organs on the sides of their abdomen. They alternately contract and release muscles causing their abdomen to resonate sound. A large air sac with a thin exterior eardrum within their abdomen acts as an echo chamber used to amplifiy the sound.

Some cicadas don't have drum-like organs, instead they create sound by clicking their wings together much like some grasshoppers and crickets.
The cicada can be heard as far as 440 yards (about one half mile). These insect noisemakers rarely ever stop calling for a mate. The noise from large groups of cicadas can often drown out even the noisiest lawnmower.
Some people refer to the cicada as a locust or grasshopper-like. Not true. People came to associate them with the plague of locusts in the Bible after seeing large mega-swarms emerge every 13th and 17th years.

There are many different species of cicadas but the two that get the most attention are the 13 year and 17 year Magicicadas. They are the longest living cicadas and the kinds that emerge to a deafing pitch. The Magicicadas emerge in a population explosion that's hard to ignore. Most Magicicadas live east of the Mississippi River.
