I took a list of all cicada species and used the program R to create this wordcloud of cicada genera. The larger the name, the more species there are belonging to that genera.
The largest genera is Cicada.
Source of names:
Sanborn, A. (2014) Catalogue of the Cicadoidea (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha). Academic Press/ Elsevier, London.

Great creativity Dan!- well done you
I was digging up some day lilies and came across an insect that looked like a cicada that is in stage 3 of it’s development. Could that be what I think?
It is very possible.
