In France, cicadas are often associated with good luck and are viewed as symbols of summer and warmth. Their presence is linked to the sunny, vibrant atmosphere of the Mediterranean region. In some cultures, cicadas represent rebirth and transformation, further enhancing their positive connotations. However, beliefs can vary regionally, and not everyone may share the same views about their symbolism.

The emergence of millions of cicadas at once, known as a brood, benefits the environment through a process called predator saturation. This phenomenon overwhelms predators with an abundance of food, allowing some cicadas to survive and reproduce. Additionally, the decaying bodies of the cicadas provide a rich source of nutrients for the soil, promoting plant growth. Their activities also aerate the soil, further enhancing ecosystem health.
Cicada seasons vary depending on the species, but typically, the emergence period lasts for several weeks. For periodical cicadas, which appear every 13 or 17 years, their active season can last about 4 to 6 weeks during late spring or early summer. Annual cicadas, on the other hand, can emerge in multiple generations each year and may be heard from late summer to early fall. Overall, the peak activity can be relatively short-lived, but the sound of cicadas can be heard for a few months depending on the species.
