Cicada Killer with Cicada 

Lots more killers with cicadas here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dlckiLz8H-A.html

Leaving high school one day..a cicada was flying in the air..out of no where, like a defensive back coming out of no where tackling the running back, a cicada killer hits it in mid air and tackles it..the scream of the cicada like an alarm dying out..crazy nature i tell you

Y’all all realize we really just watched a Murder😂

I saw one of these take down a cicada once. A cicada landed on the sidewalk across the street from where I was on my bike at a stop sign. From over my left shoulder, I heard what sounded like a tiny propeller plane. I guy on the other side of the street saw the humungous wasp and stopped in his tracks as it grabbed the cicada and stung it. The scream was almost human. Neither the guy nor I wanted to move until the wasp flew away. We looked at each other in disbelief and didn't speak.

Used to have these things in my back yard every summer.. Scary as sht cuz how huge they are and they will fly right up to your face as you were mowing the lawn.. I feel bad for killing them all the time because now I'm learning they are harmless to ppl and beneficial.. such cool insects

I found a huge nesting area in my town, so lots more cicada killer footage coming soon!

I remember seeing a cicada killer and cicada fall from a tree. I had no idea what the cicada killer was, but I went to step in it, until it buzzed at me. I feared for my life as the buzz was quite intimidating.

We have alot of those here in Georgia also. The first time I saw one back in the early 90s,when I was a teenager, I thought I was about to die! Then I noticed how they don't even mess with you.

Don't let their appearance scare you. These wasps are gentle giants :)

I have them bastards in my yard they sound like humming birds when they fly by

So, i was at a funeral before they were about to put the casket in the ground, and suddenly one of these bad boys drops down from a tree right infront of this lady im standing next to, and its ALREADY EATING THE CICADA. She screams and runs away and i felt so bad but was trying SO HARD NOT TO LAUGH and also not SCREAM myself.

I hope i am not a cicada in my next life

Coyote Peterson anyone?

I saw this wasp here in NY a few years ago. I'm expecting to see more of them this year when the cicadas come out.

Who else is here from Brave Wilderness?

imagine you wanted a burger so you had a drag the whole cow back to your house

Cicada killer looks creepier than the cicada. Cicada is like the ghost rider.

These are common where I live. I watch these hunting cicadas in my backyard.

Downvotes are hilarious. They must be bots. This is awesome footage of a native species beneficial to the cicada eradication effort. Thnx!

Just imagine being totally conscious and laying there waiting to see what happens next

We need these this year. Cicadas are coming out.

Omg it cleaning it’s antlers is so crazy lol

The only Wasps I like.

i saw one today while on my trampoline, the cicada killer dropped the cicada from a leaf and it wasn't fully killed, it made a loud noise like it was very panicked as it fell, i went inside and came back later and threw the cicada out of the trampoline lol

I've heard these things aren't aggressive towards people, and I wanna believe that, but they're fuckin terrifying

Hornet says i think its dead enough, immediately comes back, NOT DEAD ENOUGHHHHHH

They are so beautiful

This is what people see when they see a “murder hornet”

We all have sinned and fell short of the glory to God. The problem is, that God is holy and doesn’t live with sin. So we all deserve to go to hell, but Jesus paid the price so you don’t have to. All you have to do is confess Jesus as your savior and repent (turn from ALL sin) and you can have eternal life!

I witnessed these things in action this morning while working on golf course bunkers. I was weed eating the bunker wall, getting rid of sprigs and runners in the sand. I look and I see this huge flying insect or something another. I get the hell out of dodge back to my cart because it scared the shit out of me, I look and it’s a cicada killer carrying a cicada back to its den that it had burrowed into the bunker wall.

Nice Footage! they're fascinating creatures. Have you checked out the emerald jewel wasp? Very similar to what do cicada killer does, but totally different type of way of neutralizing its prey. I won't spoil what it hunts, please check it out. I had no idea at first that the prey had a natural enemy

Cicada killers are my new favorite animals simply because they kill cicadas.

I'm told they are originally in the deep south, but we've spotted them in Missouri. Guess they're migrating north.

These are cool!

I love both these insects.. and thankfully I have them in my bug collection ❤️

In the criminal justice system, sexually based offenses are considered especially heinous

I really enjoy just watching cicada killers do their thing. When the males are fighting eachother its fun to watch, and they're so chill they'll just sit on my stairs next to me and I get cool pictures of them

That’s sounds like a plane engine

Straight out of an Alien movie

can't believe i'm rooting for a cicada

So cool. Always wanted to see that place in Sudbury. Glacier left over sand?

Where in Sudbury is this? I grew up there, but I don't recognize this location.

That's like a person picking up a cow and running down the street with it. Ugh. Vile thing.

How does it kill the cicada? Just sting it to death?

I'm sorry but that wasp doesn't seem to bright.

Cicadas are the rock doves of insects.

what part of Sudbury?

My grandma used to have a cicada nest in the front yard, but eventually she set it on fire 😂

is this really called a Cicada killer??

She skull drug that cicada around. 💀

NOO

Eventually Satan decided Yellow Jackets and Wasps weren't evil enough. So he talked God into creating these scary bastards.

They're mating
