Appears to be a version of a cicada. They do damage crops but one may just be traveling by. If you see more some treatment may be necessary.

You could just keep trying to flick it off …usually when you see one bug and none others it’s doing such minimal if any harm to your plant …it’s when the numbers of the same one are present that is worrisome …most of these insects are not colonizing on your plant rather stopping in for just a taste and live on to the next one .
