Behavioral and Life-History Notes on Three Floridian Solitary Wasps (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae). Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, Number 46.

摘要

A new trap to attract solitary twig-nesting wasps and bees was developed and tested in Florida. It permits observation and photography of the nesting behavior during nest construction and, subsequently, of the development of the progeny. Observations and photographs were made of the nesting behavior and subsequent development of three sphecid wasps, lsodontia (Murrayella) auripes (Fcrnald), Podium rufipes (Fabricius), and Trypargilum collinum collinum (Smith).
