hmm another reason not to complain about the snow we are getting today. Cold= not many alien like red eyeballed critters around here.

Definitely a Cicada. Not a harmful pest, probably just taking a break.

Your name is pretty appropriate. They don't eat the fruit, but they do stick their sucking straw into the stem and get themselves some juices. I shoo'd him off.
