Commentary

Thank you for your report! This looks likely to be a cicada. Cicadas are found in Oregon, however, they are smaller, emerge in lower densities, and are not as loud as cicadas from other parts of the country. They are not considered an invasive species. For more info on emerald ash borer ID, there is a nice look-alike guide here: https://www.oregon.gov/oda/programs/IPPM/SurveyTreatment/Documents/EABLookAlikes.pdf
