is "chichara" a word or name?

Question

I heard someone called "chichara" and was told it meant a pesky insect in mexican

Answer 1

The nickname chicharra is usually given to people with a raspy voice, because they sound like a cicada.

Answer 2

I think that you both are talking about the same bug.

Los cicádidos (Cicadidae), conocidos vulgarmente como cigarras, chicharras, o cícadas en su etapa ninfal, son una familia de insectos del orden Homoptera.

Answer 3

Or maybe it's 'la chicharra' which is an insect. In the U.S. we know them as cicadas. Hope that helps.

Answer 4

Maybe you heard cigarra.
