Magicicada sp.
This is a periodical cicada that just emerged this year after being in the ground as a nymph for 17 years. Based on the location and year, there are 3 possible species that this could be: (Magicidada septendecim, M. cassini, or M. septendecula). It looks like the best way to tell the difference is by looking at the stripes on the abdomen, but I didn't get any good pictures where the abdomen is in focus.
