Hi all, I've been wondering whether I had moles or snakes. But today I caught the bugger in the act of making his hole. It looks like a wasp, completely black and a orange stripe on his back. I am wondering: is this a pest I want to keep, or find a way to get rid of? Any Ideas on what it is? Thank you, Black and Orange Bug ( photo / image / picture from Sevlor's Garden )
not sure what it is but wasps can get me running...hehe.. wow that one digs too...i bet he/she is pretty tough!
I've been looking through all my books and I think your insect may be a Great Golden Digger wasp. It eats cicadas so maybe it's one you should allow to stay around.
