Our new neighbors. I was not thrilled by them so I killed one so I could at least figure out what it was. I found out they are mostly harmless. They look worse than they act, so people say. This one had dug about seven holes. From what I gather, these big wasps dig a hole, drag a cricket down inside, paralysis it at some point, and lay their eggs nearby the cricket. They won't sting unless you make it mad. Now I know. I just won't make it mad. The kids ride their bikes near the holes though. Those big wasps are going down.
This is Gianna's version of the wasp. She asked for a piece of paper. The next thing I knew she had drawn this. She didn't even have the wasp in front of her. I guess she wanted to start nature study early.
