Periodical cicada - Female
Hinsdale, Dupage County, Illinois, USA

but off brood individuals can certainly happen. Given where you live, it looks like Brood XIII (which emerges 2024) is dominant, and 4 year shifts are possible (see e.g. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/brood-awakening-17-year-cicadas-emerge-4-years-early/), so it may be XIII instead? Agrees with discussion here:
