Cicadas are tricky to identify. I'd suggest submitting the image to Bug Guide for a confirmed identification http://bugguide.net/node/view/6/bgimage You will have to set up a free account to submit the image, but it's worth it. Good luck!

Hi turner terry, it is a Cicada. If you do a Google search for Cicada and select images, you should find a close match to yours, then check what is local to the area you saw it and you may well find the species.
