Cerceris
arenaria  |
||
| Very similar in size, structure and markings to Philanthus triangulum and with equally deadly effect, this predatory wasp attacks Weevils. The adult takes it's prey back to the nest where it will provide food for the developing young. Cerceris arenaria belongs to the Crabronidae group. These are more commonly known as Digger Wasps. The one pictured was found in Forest Town Mansfield on 06/08/2006, where there were numerous nests within an area of paving at a local park. | ||
