Cicades
Cicades is a term with multiple potential meanings, but there is no single, widely recognized topic by this name. In biology, Cicades is not the standard term for any taxon; cicadas are insects in the family Cicadidae within the order Hemiptera. The common English plural is cicadas; Cicades is not used in formal taxonomic nomenclature. In culture and media, Cicades has been used as a proper name for fictional places, organizations, or creative projects. These uses are specific to particular works or brands and are not part of a canonical body of literature. The term may also appear as a surname or a brand name, often in local or commercial contexts. Because the term is ambiguous, sources typically clarify the intended sense, or redirect to related terms such as cicada or Cicadidae. See also: Cicada; Cicadidae.
