It was another bad day for a cicada. As I have mentioned before, I have European hornets in the area. I see them frequently during the summer months. Every once in a while, I head a cicada alarm call. When it's coming from the ground, it's invariably a scene like this:
It's usually around the black walnut tree by the house. European hornets are meat eaters, so go after a variety of insects. As my other post showed, they are very aggressive in hunting, even to the point of cutting trapped insects out of spiderwebs (I have only seen that the one time). Fortunately, they don't seem to go after people much, except around their nest (which is true of most stinging insects).
