It’s a cicada...

They’ve always been locusts out here in SW Oklahoma where I grew up and live now. But down in SE Oklahoma where my mom and her bunch hail from they’re jarflys. And yes technically locusts are grasshoppers and the bug Huntsman posted is a cicada. But I’ve never heard anyone around here, aside from my nerd wife from Montana, call them by their real names.
