New Bug to Me

Found this bug while planting flowers. I think I know what it is,
something to do with a 17 year cycle.

It looks to me like it might be a moth of some sort. That's just a guess. It doesn't look like a cicada.

I think it is a moth that has just emerged from it's cocoon. It's wings haven't formed yet and are still moist.
Sometimes they don't form due to other reasons also and dry that way.

Not a Cicada - wings (even if undeveloped), antennae, scaly body all very wrong. It's a moth, agree with mausernut01 . Could possibly be one of the flightless females that just signal 'Here I am' to males with pheromones.

Doesn't look like cicada antennae, looks more like a moth's antennae.

Thank you Carol for taking a look. I had just moved a few inches of leaves in a planting bed and
I think I woke this cicada. I have it in a container with dirt, leaves, and roots. Time will tell if it
really is a cicada. I read for a cicada to emerge it must reach 68 degrees for a overnight temp.

I like your way of thinking Longshadow.
Maybe a White Lined Sphinx Moth like this one.

Looks like it could be. The antennae and colors look similar.

If your location of Colorado is correct you won't be seeing Cicadas this year. The farthest west they will be is Indiana (see map below).
They emerge when the soil gets to 64 degrees.
