Another of my favorite species is our largest , Eastern cicada killer, speciosus. Ground-nesters, females dig out impressive mounds of dirt, often the only evidence of their presence.

Males of this species also emerge before females in the Spring. Territorial, they will also fly right at you! Again, harmless; males have no stingers.
