You are correct, a Cicada is a large cricket. This is a Cicada:

That image looks like a Digger Wasp:

Aaron, you are a plethora of random knowledge. Is there some sort of secret Mt Man secondary school out in the woods in central WA, or is your google-foo just that strong?

(Now I know my far share of random shizzle, but wasps... Shocked

As Ronnie Van Zant once said, "I know a little, and baby I'll guess the rest!" Laughing

I was aware of what family the Cicada belonged to. I did have to Google the Golden Digger. I was aware of breeds of large solitary wasps, but could not remember their names offhand.

Oh and Graham, is in Western Washington, not Central. Wink
