The Mosaic Garden

The Mosaic Garden is supposedly what Cicida Hive is known for. It is a giant garden is filled with beautiful flowers and plants, as well as different Mosaics depicting famous scenes. A notable mosaic is the Salvation Wall, a mosaic depicting the end of the Tree Wars with Queen Wasp standing over a pile of dead LeafWings and lifting up the Book of Clearsight into the sky.

Marketplace

The Cicada Hive marketplace includes numerous cafes, shops, stores, and more, as well as many posters of Queen Wasp. The marketplace also has candy stores like Sugar Dream and Droplets.

Misbehaver's Way

Misbehaver's Way is what the Cicada Hive uses as a punishment zone for those who break the rules. Cicada Hive hires special HiveWings with nerve poison in their claws or tail stingers or teeth become elite squad troops for Misbehaver's Way. Instead of a prison, Cicada Hive puts their "misbehavers" on stone pedestals, after they are stabbed by the nerve poison in claws/stingers/tails/teeth/etc. The nerve poison, now in their bloodstream, causes them to not move, twitch, or even blink, although they still have their consciousness and can see, think, and feel pain.

Terrarium Academy

Although never officially named in The Lost Continent, Terrarium Academy is the only visited HiveWing schools in the Third Arc. The school is based around agriculture, plants, and growing, and hopes to turn their students into farmers.

Silkworm Hall

SIlkworm Hall is the school for the SilkWings who live in Cicada Hive. It teaches young SilkWings basic knowledge, silk studies, and most importantly, how to follow orders. Silkworm Hall takes field trips more than once a year to Misbehaver's Way, just to scare them into following the rules. Silkworm Hall was the school for all the main SilkWing characters in the third arc, like Blue, Luna, and Swordtail.

The Cocoon

The Cocoon is where all SilkWings living in Cicada Hive go to have their Metamorphosis. The Cocoon has balconies inside it where families sit and cheer on their kin as they go into the Metamorphosis process. When a SilkWing completes the process, they create their first silk tapestry and donate it to the Cocoon as an offering of thanks.

Lady Cicada Art Gallery

The Lady Cicada art gallery is a section in Cicada Hive dedicated to its ruler, Lady Cicada. The art gallery is full of paintings, sculptures, and other artwork of the hive ruler.
