Cicada Hive

Template:Infobox LocationCicada Hive is one of the nine Hives of Pantala. It is the home of Blue, Burnet, Luna, Cricket, and Silverspot, as well as many other SilkWings and HiveWings. It is ruled by Lady Cicada and also houses her aunt, Lady Scarab. Cicada Hive is located in between the Hornet Hive and the Mantis Hive. The Hive is described by Cricket as "regimented and orderly".

It seems to be known for its Mosaic Garden.

The Mosaic Garden

The Mosaic Garden is supposedly what Cicada Hive is known for. It is a giant garden is filled with orderly flowers and hedges, located on gently sloping hills and grass, and crisscrossed with a seemingly random path that leads to the center. It is described to be "glimmering in droplets of amber and gold, cobalt and jade, obsidian and pearl". The garden contains 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, done in gold tiles, 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 The Sugar Dream and Droplets. The Sugar Dream serves the HiveWing population of Cicada Hive, while Droplets appears to be cheaper and less fancy, more commonly visited by SilkWings. Its candy may be inferior or of a lesser quality to The Sugar Dream.

Misbehaver's Way

Misbehaver's Way is the prison of Cicada Hive. It is described as having pathways made of sharp, cobbled stone. HiveWings inject offenders with a special nerve toxic that causes a dragon's muscles to stiffen, freezing them in place. Prisoners can see, think, and feel while in this state, but may not move. They are placed on stone pedestals, accompanied by a tablet explaining their crime in dramatic detail. The pedestals have quotes about law and order from famous Hivewings, and a few from Clearsight herself.

The only known prisoner of Misbehaver's Way is Swordtail, who was freed by use of a green steroid, usually used to make plants grow faster. This caused excessive energy, unclear thinking, and a green tint to his eyes.

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 twice 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, for example, Blue, Luna, and Swordtail.

The Cocoon

The Cocoon is where SilkWings living in Cicada Hive undergo their Metamorphosis. Visitors can sit in the balconies to encourage friends and family going through this process. When a SilkWing finally emerges from their cocoon, they are expected to create their first silk tapestry and donate it to the Cocoon (which are used as decorations for the facility) 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.
