Infestation revisited

Here's a quote from "infestation" research:

Measuring almost two inches long, sporting yellow markings across a robust body and patrolling the ground with red wings and yellow legs, cicada killer wasps look intimidating. Although they look fierce and threatening, they’re more buzz than bite.

I say "hooray" to that! The "book club ladies" suggest that the noises in my woods are cicadas after all and that the big things that I see skulking around are Cicada Killing Wasps. Who knew?

Does any of this make me feel any better about What Is Happening in my woods? Not really.
