This little godfucker of a wasp is the Eastern Cicada Killer. It’ll make you want to both run and hide, but yeah, completely chill towards people. The first time I saw one was in Kentucky- it was horrifying but we did a lil catch and release and it was all good from there.
Ive never heard it called a cicada wasp. Where Im from we just call them cicadas. Theyre more like a big ass grasshopper than a wasp
Cicada wasps are a cicada predator. In a totally normal wasp behavior they paralyze a cicada and leave it for their larva to eat.
That makes way more sense
