Custom Build
Giant Cicada
This giant cicada animatronic clings to tree trunks or display stands at human scale, its dark armored body and broad translucent wings rendered with striking fidelity. Detailed wing veining, bulging red compound eyes, and finely segmented legs give it the look of a freshly emerged specimen. Slow actuator motion lets the wings spread and close and the body shift as if ready to launch, while the sound system plays the cicada's famous resonant chorus that transports visitors to a summer's day. Lightweight and weatherproof, it installs easily on trees, walls, or museum mounts. Nature centers, arboretums, and science festivals use it to teach insect life cycles. Its lifelike detail and unmistakable call create a seasonal atmosphere families remember.

FAQs
Common Questions About Giant Cicada
How are giant Giant Cicada figures mounted?
Depending on size, they can be floor-mounted on a pedestal, wall-mounted or ceiling-suspended. We engineer the frame and anchor points for your exact site, with a 2.0m (L), 2.8m wingspan footprint.
Can the wings or body be lit for evening shows?
Yes — LED light packages can be added to wings, eyes and body panels, with static, breathing or chase lighting synchronized to sound and show triggers.
Are they safe around children?
Yes. Kids-zone builds use low-voltage drives, soft-edged construction and slow, gentle motion cycles. We also offer impact-rated skins and tamper-resistant access panels.
