Cicadas
Cicadas are one of the symbols for Japanese summer. Today, I felt summer had arrived when I heard a chirp of a cicada. There are several types of cicadas in Japan. The most popular one is the brown cicada, and they noisily chirp during the daytime. Another one is the evening cicada; they chirp in the evening as their name show. The sound reminds me of my childhood, for example, when I was getting back home after I played with friends until sunset.

Another one is the evening cicada; they chirp in the evening as their name shows.
You can also use the word "imply" here, as in:
"Another one is the evening cicada; they chirp in the evening as their name implies."
Which I think is a bit more accurate.
The sound reminds me of my childhood, for example,like when I was getting back home after I played with friends until sunset.
Your sentence is grammatically correct, but "for example" sounds a little stiff in this context. "Like" makes the sentence flow a bit more nicely.
