Cicadas are known for the loud airborne sounds that males of most species make to attract mates. One member of this family, Brevisana brevis , the "shrill thorntree cicada", is the loudest insect in the world, able to produce a song that exceeds 100 decibels. [ 6 ]

The species' name was Tibicen chloromerus, but in 2008 it was changed to Tibicen tibicen because the cicada was determined to have been described first under this specific epithet. [4] The species was moved to the genus Neotibicen in 2015. [5] N. tibicen is the most frequently encountered Neotibicen because it often perches on low vegetation. [6]
Unlike periodical cicadas, whose appearances aboveground occur at 13- or 17-year intervals, Neotibicen species can be seen every year, hence their nickname "annual cicadas". Despite their annual appearances, Neotibicen probably take multiple years to develop underground, because all cicada species for which life cycle lengths have been measured ...
