    For those that haven't seen them..... The meal is the Cicada, the large wasp is the Cicada Killer (pretty effective huh?) and the smaller wasp is a Yellow Jacket. Kind of looks like - Cicada.....the other white meat.

    I have a small red oak trellis along the street that keeps the stupid dogs out of my flowers. It also holds my vining spinach (Basella alba). Anywho, yesterday the yellow jackets were flocking around the trellis. It took a few minutes of watching to figure out they were stripping tiny shreds of wood from the trellis. I assume for nest building. I happened to be wearing shorts when one of them darted between my legs. There was a moment that I wasn't at all certain where it had gone. There was a moment that I became statuesque in anticipation if not down right petrified at the potential. As it turned out, the wasp was smarter than I had given it credit for and apparently went on it's merry little way no doubt chuckling as it looked over its shoulder at me.

    I am pleased to report all yellow jackets are deceased, I used everything I could get. One question; anyone know what a yellow and black triangular sign means that says bio hazard on it? I have them all around the house put up by a guy in a pair of white coveralls with a hood.
