How it's used

While often associated with the traditional pastime of insect fighting, the term is also commonly used to describe the chirping insects found in rural areas or parks. In Cantonese, the sound they make is specifically described as 叫, and the act of them rubbing their wings is often referred to as 摩擦. It is worth noting that while some cultures consume them, it is not a standard or common snack in modern Hong Kong food culture.
