Cicada Killer Wasp (Sphecius speciosus) thumbnail image on AnimalDex

Cicada Killer Wasp

Species principle: Provision

Carry the future.

Heavy work becomes devotion when it feeds a future you may never see.

Female Cicada Killer Wasps dig burrows, paralyze cicadas with a sting, carry them to underground cells, and lay eggs so the larvae have food after hatching.

Elephant Beetle

Species principle: Horn Force

Drive the horn.

Force becomes meaning when it has a direction.

Male elephant beetles use large horns in contests for access to mates, turning body mass and leverage into directed competition.
