How to tie it
Mount a #8 nymph/streamer hook and lay a thread base back to the bend.
Cut a shank-length strip of 3mm black foam, taper the rear to a point, and bind it on top at the bend so the point overhangs a third of a shank as the stubby tail.
Advance the thread to the 60% mark, pull the foam forward, bind it, and segment the body with 2-3 tight thread wraps.
Tie in a narrower 2mm foam strip and repeat to hump the over-body without adding bulk.
Fold a sparse bunch of white EP fibers over the back as an underwing and snip level with the tail; top with a thin over-wing of orange dry yarn, splayed slightly to each side to mimic a cicada trying to lift off.
Figure-8 a strand of orange sexi floss across the hook for two pairs of legs and trim each to a gap-and-a-half.
Cap the thorax with a small sunburst-orange foam tab as a sight post and whip finish under the head.
