Hornets and WaspsA Cicada Killer?
Hello, I was Googling "wasp photos" trying to ID this critter and discovered your site. What a great find!! After looking at some of the photos sent into you I think this may be the Cicada Killer, but not sure. He was definitely not aggressive. I only ever saw one and s/he lived in a hole in the ground that was about 3/4 inch in diameter. I am in central Illinois. I hope my link to the photo works. I have also seen the very cool "cow killers" but they are impossible for me to photograph as they take off as soon as I see them. Thanks!

Hi K,
This is such a beautiful Cicada Killer photograph, but we suspect it was probably taken in the summer.
