I'm in North Dallas and stumbled upon this guy today. I'm

Locust?

Its a cicada. Surprised you've never seen one.

I've seen cicadas before, I don't think that's what it is. They're usually lime green and their wings fold like 90 degrees to the ground...unless this is like some kind of super species.

This is the single largest insect I've ever seen in my life. Probably 3.5x1.5x1.5 inches

The ones in Georgia look like that. Scary looking but harmless.

It's a cricket you morons

I think your idea of a cicada must be incorrect, because that bug right there is definitely a cicada.

These are cicadas, sorry. They do come in different colors.

Why do rednecks always think every commonly named animal is only one single species where all individuals look the exact same?

Now I want to know what bug you thought was a cicada.

>>2446954
Because why the fuck would they care? Every kind of dog is just a dog, every kind of bug is just a bug

>understanding the world around you is pointless
>things are just things, what's the point of caring any further
This is how rednecks think. This is why why you and your ilk are constantly the butt of jokes

Every time I've seen what I think is a dead cicada, I get near it and it freaks the fuck out in a spasm of screeches, like a tiny sound grenade.

>>2446795
Dude there's like a bazillion different species of cicada.

I'm from Georgia, and yes that is most certainly a cicada. They make a loud screeching noise at dusk and you can often find their old shells hanging on trees. Looks like a Northern Dusk Singing Cicada, completely harmless.

I made this mistake with the mosquito recently. :x

North Dallas pool man here. That's a cicada

I'm not surprised OP has never seen one. Besides finding dying ones by the hordes coming back from Philly at the train station I've only seen maybe two or three of them my entire life.

Cicada. Nasty weirdos who i had a bad experience with. For some reason Feb is always a shit ton lf cicadas every every year and one time at a pool i was on to the side of the drain and a small hand adjustment gave me a handfull of a single cicada which buzzed the living shit and scared the living shit out of me making me flail around in the pool hahahahhaaha
