Cicadas, Froghoppers, and Pond skaters are all types of insects. Cicadas are known for their stout bodies and loud buzzing sounds. Froghoppers are small, jumping insects that produce a frothy 'spittle' as nymphs.
Pond skaters are predatory bugs that are adapted to live on the surface of water bodies. All three belong to the class Insecta, characterized by their segmented bodies, six legs, and usually wings.
