The pgp signature thing was done for the same reason as the chan tripcode, a way of verifying and linking that a future poster is also the same account as a previous one. Which isn't uniquely a Q thing but more of a meta around identity proofs, a subset of cryptography that goes hand-in-hand with encryption.
It also seemed to wrap up (2016) about a year in advance of when Q started posting (Oct 2017). Not indicative of much but perhaps a connection. Q did not pop fully formed out of the ether as soon as the concept was needed. Like all teams, projects and programs there would have been a lead time to build a cohesive team before they were ready for active operations, like every other recruiting and formation type effort. And the timeframe for Cicada at least would align with that onboarding type window for Q.
Never seen the clip before, thanks for posting it. Curious that such a noisy insect would have been selected as symbology for an operation in which discretion, confidentiality, no team disclosure or collab efforts etc was also emphasized. Perhaps an ironic choice.

Perhaps the cicada was chosen for its close association with the number 17.
