Cicada. A harmless creature. It lives underground for 7-12 years(!) as a nymph eating tree roots, then it emerges up the tree to shed off its skin and get wings. It sucks on tree sap and sings throughout the summer, mates then dies. The winged stage only gets to live for mere few months.

yup, quick way to confirm is to go outside. If you're deafened by buzzing and/or find a bunch of these on trees/walls/posts/brick walls, it's definitely a cicada
