Giant wasps in Massachusetts

These giant wasps are starting to infest wood all around Massachusetts. You definitely don't want these things staring down at you.

  4. The fact that these wasps are such a growing species leads me to ask whether or not they are invasive. In the article it says that "There are 23 native species of siricids in North America." But normally native species don't flourish so rapidly unless their main predator is diminishing or they are invasive.
