Loud insect (6)

I believe the answer is:

cicada

'loud insect' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cicada that I've seen before include "Droning bug" , "crawler" , "Noisy winged insect" , "chirpy creature" , "Loud chirping insect" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, The Washington Post, the L.A. Times Daily and the King Feature Syndicate.
