Summary[edit]

| Description |
English: Flower wasp, male. In many places when the flowers start flowering, female TIPHIIDAE/THYNNIDAE wasps climb onto small shrubs or wander over open ground, waiting for a male to come and copulate. During copulation, the males take the females to flowers where they collect nectar and pass it to the female. She curls her body around the drop of nectar and drinks while the male collects more nectar on many different flowers.
Females usually live on the ground or in the leaves of trees looking for and devouring small insects. Male: 10-12mm Photos: Jean This is the male of the wingless female posted. |
