The eastern cicada killer is a large wasp that hunts cicadas, the loud insects that buzz in summer trees. It lives in the Eastern and Midwest United States and further south into Mexico and Central America. Females are not aggressive and rarely sting, so the sight of them flying over lawns is usually harmless.1

Females catch cicadas and paralyse them with a sting, then carry them to their burrows as food for their young. Adults also feed on flower nectar and plant sap.1

Kako jo prepoznaš

Large, at 1.5 to 5.0 cm long1
Hairy thorax with reddish and black areas1
Black to reddish brown abdomen marked with light yellow stripes1
Brownish wings1
Females are somewhat larger than males1

Pogosto zamenjujejo z: Its colours resemble some yellowjacket and hornet species, and European hornets are often mistaken for it. European hornets are about 3.5 cm long, so they are smaller than the largest cicada killers.1

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

The female's sting paralyses cicadas so that they can be stored as food for the young.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

Nevarnost za ljudi: BlagaKot čebelji pik ali manj. Za ljudi praktično neškodljiva.

Females are not aggressive and rarely sting unless they are grasped roughly, stepped on with bare feet, or caught in clothing. One author who was stung said the sting felt like not much more than a pinprick. Males cannot sting.1

Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?

Females sting only if handled roughly. Males may jab with a sharp spine on the tip of the abdomen if handled roughly, but they usually fly away when swatted at.1

Ostani varen

Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
Če te piči: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

A female often carries a cicada up into a tree before flying to her burrow, because the cicada can weigh more than twice as much as she does.1

Males are seen in groups and may lock together in midair combat until one breaks away.1

Cicada killers may help trees by reducing the number of cicadas that feed on them.1

The parasitic velvet ant wasp, also called the cow-killer wasp, often lays its egg in cicada killer nest cells.1

A single burrow may eventually have 10 or more nest cells.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: Male cicada killers are dangerous and will sting people.

Resnica: Males only grapple with other insects and cannot sting. They investigate things that move near them because they are looking for females.1
