To find well-camouflaged cicadas, female cicada killers search trees using their large eyes and keen vision. When they attack, they inject the insects with a cocktail of fast-acting venom, irreversibly preventing the cicada from moving. How it works, nobody knows, Coelho says.

Hate crime?

I’m not sure what’s outside my door, but they are huge and live in the dirt. They’re always flying low searching for something...

I’ve been relieved not to have read much of anything this year about Murder Hornets. To quote a CRT school district hystric: “Let Them Die!”.

This article reminds me of a wasp they have in the south the locals call a cow killer or something like that. They are rare to see, I might see only one a year, the look like a fuzzy red ant, and if I’m right they don’t have any wings but are still part of the wasp family and basically you will see only one of them by themselves, I think they live solitary by themselves. they craw around the ground, and climb flowers in the fields and sting and kill wasps or something like that. You don’t want to step on them, they are very painful and will make you feel like you would rather die, then face the pain. Anyway the farmers call them cow killers because if they sting a cow they will make a cow roll over on their side and moan and groan out of pain like they were dying of something.

Just rename them “orca’s”. Then people will pay money to go on tours to watch them.
