Yes, it was a cicada. True, they do not bite, sting, spray venom, or emit disgusting fluids. Regardless, from my pov--and presumably from that of my coworker--they have a remarkably high Ickiness Factor. Not high enough that one has to scream and run away when they fly near you (instead of just ducking), but more than enough that a cicada that has gotten inside one's clothing definitely needs to be removed as immediately and definitively as possible. *shudders*
*ponders causing giant mutated cicadas to invade the DCU so that the heroes will have to kill them all with flamethrowers*

It was just a cicada? I mean, they're hardly butterflies, but neither are they the ickiest insect to have land on you...
