Mischocyttarus Mexicanus Cubicola (Hymenoptera), Distribution and Nesting Plants
Abstract
Mischocyttarus mexicanus cubicola was found in all of the Florida counties for which there were no previous collection records except for counties in the northwestern-most part of the state. Nesting plants were found to be oak, saw palmetto and cabbage palm. The latter plant appeared to offer the most protection from bird predation, nests being chiefly found under horizontal leaves. Weather conditions appear to be the most important factor influencing this species' dispersal.Downloads
