What flying insect is black with white stripes and has red wings and looks like a huge hornet?

In: Wasps Bees and Hornets [Edit categories]

Answer:

I have recently had SEVERAL of these crazy things in my back yard. They took over my garden here in Western Kentucky. They are called Cicada Killer Wasps. They kill Cicadas and feed them to their young. They are generally not aggressive unless disturbed. Which is what I read. I have a four year old and don't want to take any chances, I am going to try to get rid of them!
