Are there cicadas in early autumn?

There are no known monkeys in early autumn, but they have not been seen in the south since 10 (around Mid-Autumn Festival).

Cicada is an HOMOPTERA insect with many species, including 120 species in China. The male cicada has a sounder in his abdomen, which can make a loud sound continuously. Although the female cicada also has a generator in her abdomen, she can't make a sound.

Cicadas are unearthed only for mating and reproduction. Once mating is completed, the male cicada will die, and when the female cicada lays eggs in the soil, she will die. So scream desperately, and then mate before the weather gets cold and finish the task.

There are a large number of golden cicadas from the middle and late June (from summer to around) to the beginning of August (around the beginning of autumn) every year. At this time, there is a custom of catching golden cicadas with electric lights in the evening in northern Anhui, northern Jiangsu, southern Shandong and eastern Henan.
