Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
On Monday I asked what was going on in these photos I recently took at the Celery Farm. The answers:
A Cicada Killer wasp is attacking a Cicada (above), paralyzing it.
It then started carrying it up a nearby tree — probably too heavy to fly with?
I'd like to think she's laying her eggs in the photo below.
More about these awesome insects here.
Congrats to Janet Terchek, who was the first to answer correctly.
