The Blood Cicada (Cercopis vulnerata) is an average of one centimeter and is well received by the red pattern on the black surface. They can be seen until August and there is only one generation. The cicada overwinters as a larva in a foam nest under the ground. They are funny insects that live in spicy vegetation. The English call him appropriately Froghopper. The insect can not really fly but shoots itself like a slingshot and floats over a distance of one and a half meters until it comes down again. Before the jump he takes off with his strong hind legs, hence the English name. The various cicadas that occur with us are relatives of the southern species that you can hear "singing" up to annoying. The creatures feed on plant juices, just like their larvae, but the latter do that underground and suck at the roots. They belong to the spitting animals or foam cicadas.
