This sequence of eight photos shows an Eastern Cicada-killer Wasp approaching the cicada it has killed, wrestling it into position, and then moving it to the nest the wasp has excavated in the sandy soil. The last photo shows the two insects disappearing into the mouth of the nest tunnel.

Spotted first by Reagan Johnson. On shoreline of Marie Curtis Park in washed up beach debris. Skiddish and difficult to approach. Distant photo was a quick one to document with my phone. Subsequent photos were made with telephoto digital SLR. Very rare, unusually early record. Recent warm weather seems to have pushed this one north fast.
p.s. I've revised the initial identification following comments in another forum by Peter DeGennaro & Colin Jones and checking photos of each of the possible species. If verified, this may be the first Canadian record of this species.
