A large yellow and black cicada killer wasp resting on the fingertip of a technician's white leather work glove with red trim, above a sandy concrete surface.

Our technician found this large cicada killer wasp during a service visit in Frisco and held it on his gloved hand to show its size. Cicada killers often burrow in lawns and sandy soil, and homeowners usually notice them flying low over the yard. If you are seeing big wasps around your property, we can inspect and recommend the right next step.
