It's definitely a moth, maybe a Velvetbean Caterpiller Moth. A cicada has clear/transluscent wings almost like cellophane. See: http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species?l=4812

They were college girls (So they claimed, most likely strippers by night, hot dog vendors by day) selling hot dogs from a cart on the beach board walk with the smallest bikini and thongs you ever saw.... They sold ALOT of hot dogs,.. I know because Id go back at least five times! HA!! Perfect gig!
