Large insect of the order Hemiptera, the male of which produces a nocturnal droning noise (6)

I believe the answer is:

cicada

(Other definitions for cicada that I've seen before include "Insect with a high- pitched drone" , "jumpy creature" , "Droning bug" , "Chirpy little thing" , "Large bug" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
