My son has named one of them that's in the backyard "Beezy." Despite their size, these guys are fairless harmless (unless you're a cicada). They fly close to you to ward you off from their nests, burrowed in loose soil on the ground. They capture and paralyze the cicadas for their larval babies in the nest. I've gotten within inches on several occassions and never been stung. Usually by mid-August, they will be gone. We have these cicada killers also.
