saspa 05/26/20 2:48:32 PM #8:	Austin_Era_II posted... Great Black Wasp Hmm maybe. Here's the thing, a few months ago we had grasshoppers all over and what I've noticed is these wasps... I don't even know how to describe it. They sting (I assume) the grasshopper and then move around with it. Like the black wasp thing is on top of the grasshopper (who I can't imagine is still alive) and kind of puppets it around. It was the most terrifying thing I'd ever seen as it looked straight out of a horror movie or re4. I don't even understand what it was doing or why. --- https://imgur.com/0UFI0T9 <cite>saspa posted [p:939738189] in Black wasp...

SpacialEntropy 05/26/20 3:08:05 PM #20:	yemmy posted... This. There are also yellow ones that plant eggs in cicadas Sphecius Speciosis, aka Cicada Killer. Just like the Tarantula Hawk, you only have to watch out for the females (males can't sting). And the good news about Tarantula Hawks is they won't bother you if you don't bother them. Most solitary wasps are much more concerned about foraging for food or materials for nests. You're really not even there to them unless you try to kill them or mess with them. --- Sometimes to stay alive you gotta kill your mind. <cite>SpacialEntropy posted [p:939739094] in Black wasp...

saspa 05/27/20 3:49:01 PM #23:	Next time if I see one I'll check if they're more blueish than jet-black.
