  • @VelaStorm7 it' s a cicada as the man pointed out; it looks like a fly, but actually belongs to the order Hemiptera, a diverse group of insects characterized by a distinctive set of piercing-sucking mouthparts (mainly used for feeding on plant sap) among other things.

  • @DYLONayms oh don't worry, i plan to! :)
