Cicada Killers
Any type of insect that has the name killer can’t be good. This name has been given because of the females. They are the ones that paralyze cicadas and bury them in the ground so that their larvae can eat from them. Pretty creepy, eh? Not so good news if you happen to be a cicada!
If you are a human, there isn’t much to worry about since they leave us alone. They dig tunnels that have a diameter of a quarter and are about two feet deep! Once the egg is laid, they will patch the opening, and leave the larvae with the cicada to feed on later…
Thread Waited Wasps
This is more of an umbrella term that includes more wasp species including the famed mud daubers, blue diggers, and gold digger wasps! These wasp species tend to stay inside their nest during the nest and when the sun rises, they will also rise and fill their day looking for food.
Very productive indeed. These wasps are also known as solitary wasps which means that they are not dependent on a colony to raise their young but let the young individually raise themselves.
Yellowjackets
These wasps are quite well-known. These are the type of wasps that tend to get close to you when you are enjoying a picnic. They might be easily mistaken for bees due to the black and yellow colours on their body, but make no mistake, it is not the trusty bumble bee!
They usually take advantage of structures that have already been built by rodents and other animals who burrow in the ground. The nest is created by chewing cellulose texture. The fibre and saliva create a fascinating cylindrical structure!
