The eggs hatch to find that momma left them food, ir … There is a special spot that we see them by our building were there are 4" to 6" rocks for land scaping. I have been having nausea and vomiting, headaches, dry mouth, swelling from the stings downward into my ankle, with pain and itching for over 4 days, how long is this going to last? I sprayed half of the entire can of Raid on it until it died because it would NOT stop moving and trying to fly away. I have extremely bad luck with bees, I'll probably end up getting stung, and the fact that I'm wearing a tang top and shorts (zero protection from stings) doesn't help. The only bummer is that their nest is right under our front door! He took it to the doctor with him and they gave him some meds his swollan butt sting, so he's fine.

There is a narrow constriction between thorax and abdomen (it is a “thread-waisted” wasp). My 2 yr old left the door open and this magnificent beast flew in. It can be seen visiting flowers in the hottest parts of the summer and early fall and helps pollinate plants. I was thinking of knocking the nest down before first light with a water stream from a hose, but am really concerned about their aggression.

The ones I'd killed earlier had doubled up and looked small. Every adult, however, was raised on a diet of Katydids and their relatives, Grasshoppers or Crickets. Look up at the one plant in my room and notice this creature, it was unbeliveable, how foolish and naieve i am to not expect giant size versions of anything scuttling about from various old spaces of this planet. i was rather close to it, maybe 2 feet or so away. They are very aggressive and will chase you. They've come out to California now! I was SO SCARED because of their size, yeah, but their agression was incredible. The larvae feed on living insects that the females paralyze and carry to the underground nest. Only one generation occurs each year. Description. And we ran for it.. heh. I made a "beeline" into the house with them on my tail. We just saw one of these carrying a locus type grasshopper... this thing is huge and scary! Also, reading about the severity of a sting from one of these, its terrifying because last time I got stung by a very small and harmless looking bee on the top of my forearm, it swelled huge, turned dark red, and was a few degrees warmer than the rest of me, my reactions seem to get worse every time I get stung. I have had these wasps coming around my house for the past four years in Monroe County, MI. I have read that they are not aggressive but after being stung after not bothering this wasp I would have to disagree. I live in southern Wisconsin and i have these everywhere!!! It is about 1.75" long. That is how big this was. I think I have a colony of them in my stone wall. Live in northern Illinois and have been seeing these giants for about 3 years.

One got trapped in my glass room, near Pontiac, Mich., yesterday, just over 1 inch long, biggest i have seen in Michigan, I gave it a wide berth, im mike b from minnesota i saw one coming out from the front stairs out side last summer didnt no what it was only seen it go in an out an this summr same thing but today it was right there in i had a bug kit an i got it black eyes its so pretty 8/4/09.

I've only seen them in my garden a few times since photographing this one. yes this is the the exact look alike wasp that stung me today. Females feed, mate, and dig burrows for several weeks before hunting for cicadas in nearby trees. The pain is still with me after 12 hours since the sting. Joe,Chicago...I have these wasps nesting under my front porch (concrete stairs)for 3 years. Now there are two, and i got my butterfly net, but they are too hard to catch because they fly too fast. Of the 10 years living in western australia have never encountered one before. It was one of Michigan's first social networks. Courtesy of Bugwood.org, http://ww2.lafayette.edu/~hollidac/cicadakillerhome.html. I yelled, "What the **** is *that*!" Cicada killers overwinter as larvae in the soil. I wacked this thing hard with a fly swatter, it didn't even faze it. i beat a quick retreat as i am allergic to mud wasps, and thats what i thought they were. Unfortunately, I had to kill the wasp because it wouldn't stop buzzing around the kids in the sandbox...it was terrifying but I was also a little sad because it was quite an interesting creature. i said "i don't knmow! The annoying thing is, is that it comes back again! They start coming around in May. As I got closer to look at it, it turned slightly, as though it knew I was there and started running faster.

The one we saw was probably about 3 inches long or so and quite a bit fatter than this picture. One wonders if they really would sting, or if it's all just a bluff. Yesterday I saw somthing stuck. I live in Quebec and I have two of these behemoths living under my front step! I don't know that there would be more of these around that usual, but if you happen to be in the right place at the right time, I guess you'll see them. AMazing. lots of scare. I worked out side most of my life. I tried to drown them out but got only a portion of them cause the hive is so big. Like other solitary wasps with no large colony to defend, cicada killers usually ignore people as they go about their business of digging holes and hunting for cicadas. It sounds as if they are not aggressive so I think I will leave it alone. later my mom called me out and pointed it out saying "what is that?!" They are very agressive. The females search tree trunks and lower limbs for cicadas. I'm just HAPPY that I found it BEFORE I left the house..my kitties would/could have gotten stung!! The body is satiny matte black.

Some people were asking how to get rid of them, and my reply is to use a foaming hornet/wasp spray that shoots 20 feet. The noise it made when it slammed into the screen was so loud. From what I've read here, these GBW seem to have some consciousness...eerie! IN FACT, IF THIS KIND OF POSTING CONTINUES, I INTEND TO BEGIN *EXTERMINATING* THE COMMENTS LEFT IN MY PHOTO GALLERY.

Thank you so much for posting these. NOTE: DUE TO THE LARGE NUMBER OF IDIOTIC COMMENTS BEING LEFT ON THIS GALLERY, COMMENTS ON ALL OF MY GALLERIES ARE NOW RESTRICTED TO PBASE MEMBERS ONLY!!! Jeez. Unfortunately, there is one of these things I swear the size of my palm (at first I thought it was three bees) buzzing angrily outside my door.

Thought I was hearing a rat in the rafters of my garage, turned out to be one of these banging against the shop light repeatedly. I also had chill bumps & my hands were shaking!!

One thing I've been wondering about with many of the reports I've had of people seeing various caterpillars, spiders, flying insects, etc.. is if it's more a case of people just becoming increasingly observant of insects these days. This information is for educational purposes only. It's been a phenomenal year for strange and exotic looking caterpillars here in western new york (near where Lake Erie and Lake Ontario meet.).

It can be seen visiting flowers in the hottest parts of the summer and early fall and helps pollinate plants. one noght the basement was empty, the next there were at least 100 of them,most were dead already. I've probably killed two dozen of them. But S?;T! This had to be a half hour later. As a result male cicada killers are much smaller than the females.
