What kind of Insect is this?

• When I was walking my dog outside, I saw a white object on the sidewalk. I went over to look at it and flipped it over, and it looked like a grasshopper. Although im not really sure if its a grasshopper or some sort, what kind of insect is it? or what kind of a grasshopper is it? Its wings are oval-shaped, has a white stomach (like bird feces), its legs were all scrunced up together, and its eyes stick out, and spread apart wide. Here are some pictures I took(Sorry the quality is bad,camera phone quality): http://i41.tinypic.com/wl6bme.jpg http://i39.tinypic.com/rh04ms.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/wl5f7q.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/wl5f7q.jpg http://i42.tinypic.com/fvlgnk.jpg

• Answer:

  That is a cicada. Growing up, I learned that they were locusts, but google tells me that locusts look more like grasshoppers than this does. http://www.falconweb.net/celestial/img/5-27-CicadaClusterLrg.jpg
