Cicada Killer Waspscan you ID this
These have been all over my yard each of the last 4 mornings. I’ve never seen them before, and they seem harmless, but they are terrorizing my wife.

Hi Lou,
What a marvelous image of a Cicada Killer, Sphecius speciosus. They are not aggressive, but we would not want to be stung by one. As the name implies, they are predatory on Cicadas, the larval food source, but adults are pollen feeders.
