	Johan Christian Fabricius Johann Christian Fabricius (7 January 1745 – 3 March 1808) was a Danish zoologist, specialising in "Insecta", which at that time included all arthropods: insects, arachnids, crustaceans and others. He was a student of Carl Linnaeus, and is considered one of the most important entomologists of the 18th century, having named nearly 10,000 species of animals, and established the basis for the modern insect classification. Biography Johann Christian Fabricius was born on 7 January 1745 at Tønder in the Duchy of Schleswig, where his father was a doctor. He studied at the gymnasium at Altona and entered the University of Copenhagen in 1762. Later the same year he travelled together with his friend and relative Johan Zoëga to Uppsala, where he studied under Carl Linnaeus for two years. On his return, he started work on his , which was finally published in 1775. Throughout this time, he remained dependent on subsidies from his father, who worked as a consultant at Frederiks H ...

	Scoliid The Scoliidae, the scoliid wasps, are a family of wasps comprising about 560 species worldwide. They tend to be black, often marked with yellow or orange, and their wing tips are distinctively corrugated. Males are more slender and elongated than females, with significantly longer antennae, but the sexual dimorphism is not as apparent as in many of the Tiphiidae and Thynnidae. Biology Scoliid wasps are solitary parasitoids of Scarabaeidae, scarab beetle larvae. Female scoliids burrow into the ground in search of these larvae and then use their sting to paralyze them. They sometimes excavate a chamber and move the paralyzed beetle larva into it before depositing an egg. Scoliid wasps act as important biocontrol agents, as many of the beetles they parasitize are pests, including the Japanese beetle. Male scoliids patrol territories, ready to mate with females emerging from the ground. Adult wasps may be minor pollinators of some plants and can be found on many wildflowers in the la ...

	Colpa ''Colpa'' is a genus of scoliid wasp. Taxonomy and phylogeny Despite historical treatment under the tribe Campsomerini, phylogenetic analysis revealed the genus to instead be sister to the tribe Scoliini. As a result, it was excluded from Campsomerini. Two possibilities were presented, pending results on the placement of ''Guigliana'' and ''Dasyscolia'': either to treat a third tribe, Colpini, or to transfer the genera to Scoliini. Species There are 24 species recognized in this genus: Subgenus ''Colpa'' (''Carbonelis'') Subgenus ''Colpa'' (''Colpa'') Subgenus ''Colpa'' (''Crioscolia'') Subgenus ''Colpa'' (''Heterelis'') Subgenus ''Colpa'' (''Junodelis'') Subgenus ''Colpa'' (''Nyaselis'') Gallery Colpa octomaculata hermione (212047529).jpg, ''Colpa octomaculata hermione'' female Colpa octomaculata hermione (86118532).jpg, ''Colpa octomaculata hermione'' male Colpa octomaculata octomaculata (217004591).jpg, ''Colpa octomaculata octomaculata'' female ...
