If the colorless spell has

Skittering Cicada's last ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
- WotCJul 28, 2023
Skittering Cicada's second ability applies only to casting spells. It does not, for example, change when you may activate abilities that can be activated "only as a sorcery."
