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

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

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

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

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

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

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

kufanelekile ukwazi

Iinyaniso

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

Umqhekezi weentsomi

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

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