Pulled it out of the pool this morning still alive, and put on the bushes so it can dry out. 12 hours later, it's still where I left it, but hasn't flown away. It looks like a bumble bee, but never saw one this color before. My friend says it's a Cicada, but I said no. What is it? Doesn't appear to have a stinger.
