The Cicada Killer Wasp


On the way home from Iowa something smacked against the windshield while we were doing about 60 to 65 mph. Saw it was a wasp, then saw it was still alive! Amazing. It worked itself out from under the windshield wiper to above it then flew off. I managed to get this picture first for evidence. It's a Cicada Killer Wasp, here's a link to a page for more pics which has a link to really interesting material on their behavior and size. Cicada Killer Wasp

ah sick! You should have sprayed it with the windshield cleaner and then wiped it off. I like cicadas!
