Observations on the Behaviors of Some Scoliidae and Pompilidae (Hymenoptera) in Florida
Abstract
The first report of burrowing behavior in a male nearctic scoliid, Campsomeris plumipes fossulana, and the first description of the nesting behavior of the pompilid Anoplius bequaerti are presented. Observations on the nesting behaviors and nests of the spider wasps Episyron conterminus posterus, Anoplius apiculatus pretiosus, and A. stenotus are also given. New prey families for Auplopus mellipes mellipes and Agenioideus birkmanni are included. An emendation is made to an earlier paper (Kurczewski 1981) on nesting behavior of Florida Pompilidae.Downloads
