The only wasp I like, actually.
Reasons to Love the Cicada Wasp
-they are generally not interested in humans. The males are the protectors, more territorial, yet have no stingers to harm you.
-these wasps had no issue with me getting close for some fantastic photographs.
-Cicada wasps are interesting. They kill and use cicadas to feed their larva.
-as in they will fly to a tree with a cicada, kill it and drag it’s body to the nest.
-the Cicada wasp won’t build a nest and swarm you from above protecting it. They nest in the ground.
-they can grow pretty big, up to 2″ long.
-they are easy to identify. Three primary markings in the back, large in size and not hurting anyone.
-again, they have no interest in us. Please do not kill them.
More pictures? Sure.
