Cicada Killers in N. Branford, CT

Hi there. I googled to see what on earth these scary things were and found your website. They have several burrows just along the curb near the street. I was not about to get close enough to photo, but my husband went out there for you. He saw one w/ a cicada "in hand", but didn't have the camera w/ him at that point. Can we run the lawn mower over the area, or will we be stung? Good luck in your study.

Hi Paula,

Thank you for the information. Yes, that is definately a cicada killer. You should be ok in mowing your lawn you won't get stung. These wasps are non-aggressive. If you or your husband are so inclined, maybe you can get a photo of one with a cicada to identify the species of cicadas they are catching.
