Image of Eastern Cicada Killer
Description:
I have these every year but this year they are literally swarming the yard. I've been lucky enough to observe them flying through the air with cicada firmly gripped. They actually stuff it down a pre-prepared burrow to lay and egg on it. Very cool, but scary critter.
