Cicada Killer
These are large, scary-looking wasps that live a solitary live. Although they look especially fierce, cicada killers are non-aggressive and only attack when handled roughly. Male wasps don’t have a stinger, just as the carpenter bees.These wasps got their name from their dominant prey, cicadas. As they help control the cicada population and preserve trees on which cicadas feed, cicada killers work as a biocontrol.
