This has been quite a year for the cicada killer. During the last week in July 2002, my students and I caught 25 of them at a local resident's house. Nobody got stung. This photo, taken by John Obermeyer, Entomology Department, is of one of the wasps we caught. Adult activity should subside by late August.
