Below is just a small sampling of some cicada killer wasp behaviors. It is not necessary to kill these wasps. The males do not sting and females are only interested in stinging cicadas.

Cicada Killer digging burrow

Description: One of the first videos I shot of a female cicada killer digging a burrow in 2005. I was really nervous filming this because the male cicada killers were flying and buzzing around me and I was laying flat on my stomach because this female was underneath a bush. Back then, my knowledge of these docile wasps was limited. Today with the help of Professor Chuck Holliday of Lafayette University, these wasps are my friends. They are very fun to study.
