By Jesse Russell

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Sphecius grandis, also called the western cicada killer, is a species of cicada killer wasp (Sphecius). The western species shares the same nesting biology as its fellow species, the eastern cicada killer (S. speciosus). S. grandis, like all other species of the genus Sphecius, mainly provides cicadas for its offspring. It forms nest aggregations and mates and broods once in a year, in July and early August. The wasp is on average 3 cm (1.2 in) to 5 cm (2 in) in length and is amber-yellow with yellow rings on its abdomen.
