Cicada Killers. They will not bother you. Where I used to live, I’d mow the lawn and go right over their holes. They didn’t care at all....
Thank you.
They always fly towards me when I walk by, but then divert away.
Years ago I was working for a couple of weeks in a field with low bushes with flowers - COVERED with honey bees I presume. Spent every day walking/crashing through those bushes. The bees were too worried about getting the nectar to be bothered with me. It was pretty amazing.
I got stung on the top of my hand by one many years ago. I was on the shooting range and had my hands behind my back waiting. One landed in that spot above my hands. I didn’t even know it was there. It freaked me out when I saw it and how big it was. The top of my hand swelled up pretty badly. I made an aspirin poultice and kept using it to suck out any of the poison. It seemed to work.
There’s some at the park where I play senior softball. They’re fun to watch especially if they’ve captured a cicada and are flying it to their underground nest......Totally harmless
