Souvenir
The cicada is the symbol of Provence. During the summer we can hear the male's mating song all day long. The cicada has tymbals on the side of its abdomen and the male, by contracting them, creates a clicking sound and when relaxing the muscle another click. The body acts like a resonance chamber amplifying the sound.
You can buy a variety of cicada souvenirs in the shops. See left
The name cicada derives directly from the Latin meaning tree cricket.
