What are Cicada Killers
Cicada Killers (Sphecius speciosus) are large, solitary wasps that specialize in hunting cicadas. They are typically 1.5 to 2 inches long and have a black and yellow-striped abdomen. Female Cicada Killers capture cicadas, paralyze them with their venom, and then bring them back to their burrows to lay an egg on the paralyzed cicada. Once the egg hatches, the larva feeds on the cicada. Cicada Killers are not aggressive and rarely sting humans unless threatened.
