Cicada Killer Wasp



These are the very large wasps that I have been getting calls and questions about lately.  They have really started to show up (along with their burrows) in the last 2-3 weeks.  These really do not pose any threat to humans despite their intimidating size.

If you take a minute to listen, especially around some trees, you will hear all the cicadas.  These wasps help to limit the cicada population, and in turn that helps save some damage to trees.  

Unless they begin to burrow into greens, tees, bunkers, or any other playing surface I have always left these wasps alone, and let nature run its course.
