Tachypompilus Ignitus
The rain spider wasp or red-femora spider wasp (''Tachypompilus ignitus'') is an Afrotropics, Afrotropical species of spider wasp specialising in capturing spiders of the genus ''Palystes'', the rain spiders. Distribution This spider wasp is found in Southern Africa, recorded from South Africa and Zimbabwe. Description These wasps are about 45 mm in length. They are largely black with orange antennae, orange dital parts of the legs, and largely orange wings, which are dark at the base and tip. Biology Females of ''T. ignites'' largely specialise in hunting and capturing rain spiders ''Palystes'' spp., which are stung by the wasp; the sting paralyses the spider which is dragged to the wasp's nest. In the nest, the wasp lays an egg on the spider and then seals the nest. When the larva hatches, it consumes the spider, starting with the less vital parts to keep the spider alive for as long as possible, eating the vital organs last. Once finished consuming the prey, the larva pu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pompilinae
The Pompilinae are a subfamily of the spider wasp family, Pompilidae Wasps in the family Pompilidae are commonly called spider wasps, spider-hunting wasps, or pompilid wasps. The family is cosmopolitan, with some 5,000 species in six subfamilies. Nearly all species are solitary (with the exception of some group-ne ..., the species of which lay their eggs on the paralyzed bodies of their prey. Taxonomy and phylogeny Tribal classification has been revised numerous times with little consensus between authors. Bradley's 1944 classification used 7 tribes: Allocharini, Allocyphononychini, Aporini, Ctenocerini, Epipompilini, Pedinaspini, Pompilini. Evans's 1951 classification only included 5 of these tribes, omitting Allocharini and Allocyphononychini. Ctenocerini has since been elevated to subfamily status as Ctenocerinae, and Epipompilini has been omitted by Pitts et al. in 2006. Engel and Grimaldi, later in 2006, included 17 extant tribes: Allocharini, Allocyphonychini, Anoplage ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tachypompilus Unicolor
The red-tailed spider hunter (''Tachypompilus unicolor'') is a species of spider wasp from western North America. Description Especially in the subspecies ''T. u. cerinus'', the body is often entirely red, with yellow, dark-margined wings. Distribution It is found in Southern California, including the northern Baja California and the Channel Islands, north to the Okanagan Valley, southern British Columbia, eastwards through southwestern Idaho to western South Dakota and northern Utah. Biology Adults of ''T. unicolor'' feed at honeydew secretions and flowers. Females have been captured at honeydew from galls of '' Disholcapsis eldoradensis'' on ''Quercus lobata'' and at flowers of '' Asclepias erosa'', ''Baccharis sarothroides'', ''Chrysothamnus'' sp., '' Lepidospartum squamatum'', and '' Wislizenia refracta''. Males have been taken on the flowers of '' Calochortus catalinae'', '' Hemizonia fasciculata'', '' Rhamnus californica'', and ''Xanthium spinosum''. Both males and femal ...
