Cicada Killer Wasps in Quincy, MA
These wasps have actually been flying around my lavender bushes for over two weeks. As of yesterday, I discovered holes in my lawn and thought I had moles. Today, I saw the wasps instead.

Hello and thanks for sharing your images of these cicada killers. The wasps are extremely docile and will not harm you unless you accidentally step on one. Also, the males are harmless and don't have stingers.
Now that you have these wasps, don't be surprised if next year they will return.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi there, this type of wasp is known as a "Cicada Killer" that means that it hunts cicadas.
The cicada killers may return to this same place in late July or early August.
