Hi Gina,

Thanks for the photo. If you killed these cicada killers, it really wasn't necessary. Cicada Killers are extremely non-aggressive towards humans and the males don't even have stingers.

In fact, I have stolen paralyzed cicadas away from cicada killer females and have never been stung.



Thanks for sharing your photo.
