Cicada Killer WaspsCicada Killer Photos
WTB,
Don’t need an ID; just thought you might enjoy these shots of a female Cicada Killer I took today in Chicago. I look forward to seeing them every summer. I spent an hour kneeling over the female as she worked, with others circling around me like fighter planes and they never laid a stinger on me. If you have them near you, there is no need to attack them with pesticide. They are not aggressively defensive like yellow jackets and paper wasps. Other pictures of her digging the burrow can be found at my web site:

My My Cory,
That action photo of the Cicada Killer flying with extremely shallow depth of field is awesome. Thanks for sending your letter.
