            One of the signs of summer in Texas, and throughout the eastern U.S., is the cicada killer.  Over the past month or two you may have noticed dime-sized holes appearing in your yard or garden.  While many insects (beetles and ants, for example) dig holes, few are so conspicuous as the cicada killer wasp, Sphecius speciosus. Cicada killer wasps are easy to spot due to their large size; they are typically 1-1/2 to two inches in length. The female cicada killer digs homes for her young in home... Read More →

              I found this guy last week. He's super nice, but I don't know what to feed him.

                They are pretty cool actually. I've seen them dig holes and bring cicadas into them to eat. I have a few around my house every year. I leave them alone and they are gone in a few weeks.

                  Yep. Not going to say that I haven't ran away, screaming like a little girl when one dive bombed me. Never been stung by one though.

                        I leave yellow jacket alones because they never mess with me, so I don't bother them. However, I hate red wasps because they are aggressive and the above poster sums up their attitude. I've been stung by them multiple times without provocation. Yesterday, I had one that took an interest in me. He flew up to me and without warning, landed on my hand and crawled up my arm, then flew away. I was surprised, but relieved that he didn't sting me.

                          Working outside I get stung by every fucking thing in the world but I have never been stung by one of those. Most stings don't even bother me anymore but I had one knock me out cold and made me jizz in my shorts.

                            Nope, nope, nope. Something that big, wasp like, flying into my garage?? It is going to die. Period. I don't care if if farts cherry scent and pisses whiskey.

                              Nope, woulda been flailing about like an epileptic.

                              Used to own honey bees, the sting was never too bad, but for some reason I always hated the thought of the sting. I'll let most wasps/hornet nests live, until they show any aggression towards me/the wife, then it's time for them to meet fire.
