Return of the Cicada Killers 6

Description

This fearsome-looking wasp is actually both non-aggressive and highly beneficial. It is a cicada killer wasp, a large, solitary wasp that feeds on cicadas, even snatching them right out of the air. It ALSO feeds on the recently-arrived Japanese beetles, finding them and their larvae suitable prey in both its adult and larval forms. You would have to literally grab and try to crush one to get it to sting you.
