    I used to have swarms of them in my back yard when I lived in the midwest. Guess who had no cicadas anywhere around? This guy.

    As long as you don’t fuck with them they are mostly harmless to you.

      The males can be kind of aggressive in buzzing around you but they don’t have stingers like the females do. They’re big scary looking wasps but pretty harmless. They lived in my back yard for years and no one I know ever got stung by one.
