you mean the type of locusts that swarm en mass and can eat crops in a matter of hours? upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia… im not seeing the similarity. ive had people compare it to a bumble bee too.

Where I grew up in Texas, they were always referred to as Locust but looking them up, they were indeed Cicada's.Β
