Eastern Cicada Killer Wasp in Our Neighborhood – Critter 17

Friday, September 30, 2022

I was stung by this insect when I visited a park long time ago. Unexpectedly, the insect was found on the ground (floor) near by our house recently.



Fig 01- Eastern Cicada Killer Wasp.


After searching through internet, the insect name is “Eastern Cicada Killer Wasp” with scientific name Sphecius speciosus.


Actually, the wasp comes from Eastern part of USA that why called as Eastern Wasps. They are abundant in the states such as:

- New Jersey

- Rhode Island

- Delaware

- and Connecticut



Fig 02- Wonder what happen to wasp



Fig 03- Wasp seems crawling on the floor


They migrate to Louisiana about at the end of summer (July to August). Since the insect is solitary, it is common to find this wasp fly alone.


Beneficial this predator to environment that it could control population of other insect called as cicadas.


Not because of its disturbing sound, but cicadas may cause plant damages in such ways:

- cicadas deposit their eggs, could be hundreds into weed’s or grass’s stems

- sap twigs of trees


Have you ever found this kind of wasp in nature?

  7. Never heard of such insect! Thank you for those interesting info :-)
    Sorry you were stung :-( ... I hope they will not migrate to Europe, as most of them travel across the world inside shipping containers.

  11. I hate getting stung by a wasp and the worst thing that happened to me was being stung over and over by a hornet! It got under my shirt and I was pulling my shirt OFF going in the front door!
