food chainCicada Killer with prey
I identified this bug (I think) by using your site. I thought at first maybe they were flying around mating, but then it landed on my van, and I could tell that the bottom bug was dead and not even the same species. I noticed you said that you’d only ever received one picture with the cicada killer and its prey, so I’m sending you the ones I took. Sorry they aren’t too good, I was too nervous to go any closer…lol. It was huge! When we got back to our van 30 minutes later, it was still flying around with the dead cicada.

Hi Tina,
Thank you for sending documentation of one of the most exciting predator/prey scenarios we know about. This is a Cicada Killer and your photos are quite wonderful.
