2026The Cicadas of Portugal - First Day Cover

You know those hot summer afternoons when the sound of the cicadas seems to fill the hot, still air?
There are thirteen species of cicadas in Portugal, also known as the harbingers of summer. Although widely known to the public for their song, very few people have probably ever seen a cicada up close. They are cryptic and vigilant animals, which, when they sense the inquisitive gaze of a human, quickly go silent or fly away.
