Cicada

A cicada is a species of insect native to Earth.

Cicadas live underground as larvae for most of their life, only tunneling to live in daylight for a few days, then burrowing down again. 

The USS Cicada, RNS and the Cicada sector were named after the insect.

History
James T. Kirk and Teilani heard the whine of cicadas coming from a grove of chestnut trees near his family home in Riverside, Iowa, after having been attacked by a pair of Klingon-Romulan hybrids.
