Cicadas in the Forests of Cambodia

There are approximately 1500 different cicada species documented in the world. Of the many cicadas found in Asia, the Bothrogonia addita (Walker), Cofana unimaculata (Signoret), and Kolla ceylonica (Melichar) are just a few species found in the forests of Cambodia. Different cicada species sing at specific times of the day; however, it is not unusual to hear overlapping songs that create a unique chorus that resonates throughout the forests.
