Eastern cicada killer
They are harmless unless you are a cicada.
Interesting animals.
Rondeau Provincial Park, July 28, 2023.
Sphecius speciosus
Mild mannered female cicada killer wasps are active during the summer, intent on their tasks of 1) digging underground burrows and 2) provisioning them with paralyzed cicadas that will be food for their grub-like larvae. The wasps will be very focused on these tasks for several weeks.
