Wasps

I just read in the paper about the Cicada Killer Wasp. I haven't seen any yet and don't want to. Although they are called Killer, they do not sting you. They just go about minding their own business. They don't build nests on buildings like regular wasps. They are much bigger than a regular wasp and wasp killer won't kill them. They burrow in the ground and since it has been so dry, that is easy for them so they are multiplying this year. My niece is petrified of any kind of wasp and she has seen several of them in their yard. I guess there were some last year in the next town but I haven't seen any yet here. I hope this is just one of those cycles and they don't appear next year.
