#spider wasp

[onenicebugperday]

found this bug in my bathroom and was curious what it is?

location: nsw, australia

She's a spider wasp! They're solitary so they are non-aggressive.

Animal of the Day!

Tarantula Hawk (Pepsis grossa)

(Photo by Steven Mlodinow)

Conservation Status- Unlisted

Habitat- Southern North America; Central America; South America

Size (Weight/Length)- 50 mm

Diet- Nectar; Fruit

Cool Facts- Tarantula wasps have the second most painful sting, just behind bullet ants. I guess we’re lucky they’re pretty shy by comparison. While both sexes have brilliant orange wings and metallic black bodies, females are significantly larger. Female tarantula hawks search for spiders, usually tarantulas, to be used as a living nursery. Encouraging the tarantula to rear onto its hind legs, the wasp will sting the spider on a nerve and cause paralysis. Dragging the spider into its burrow, the tarantula hawk lays a single egg, and covers the burrow entrance. The newly hatched larvae will then eat the spider, weave a cocoon, and emerge as a fully grown wasp.

Rating- 11/10 (Dangerous, brutal, easily defeated by roadrunners.)

Gorgeous creature. I love the metallic blue-black.

Most likely genus Aporus (Hymenoptera), which is a type of spider-hunting solitary wasp. Found in California redwood forest.

Colorado Potato Beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata) Parthenice Tiger Moth (Apantesis parthenice), and Spider Wasp (Priocnemis spp.)! My first wasp so far, I couldn't resist the blue. Slowly working myself up to spiders so I can draw them as they deserve! Bugs referenced from INaturalist with photos by brickman and ericgiles respectively, and the Spider Wasp from InsectIdentification.org.

@lilyinthesnow submitted: No ID needed just thought it was cool. This is my third time seeing a spider wasp, but first that I could get a video.

That's a big spider! Impressed with her strength

A small collection of holding wasps on my hand. They’ll typically mind their own business as long as you mind yours, meaning you're still or slow around them, and they can also get accustomed to your presence near nests if you don’t harm them. When they’re landed, you can read their wariness by whether their wings and abdomens are relaxed. Mud daubers like in the first photo are the tamest to hold, all it should take is to gently put your hand like you’re gonna scoop them up head-first, only you let them walk on by themselves. Minding the stinger, you won’t be able to steer them on using your other hand like with moths or jumping spiders, so there’s no guarantee they’ll go where you want. But if they do, as long as you keep your hand still and the rest of your body unanimated, you should be able to watch a calm wasp groom itself from close-up before it flies off or before you set it down on another perch.

(Obviously, know your pain tolerance in case you fumble your first attempts at this. Don’t just try this with a tarantula hawk.)

finished meeting with the realtor and the house should be on the market by tonight! hoping for a speedy sale while beginning a more official home search now, preferably with lots of untamed/forested land and a barn studio 🤞

was greeted during a celebratory cig with my first sighting of a spider wasp hauling its prey 🕷️🐝🔪

good news everyone! the tarantula hawk sting, previously rated as a Schmidt sting pain index level 4, is actually just a mild irritation :)

[Image ID: Write a poem about parasitoid spider wasps. The parasitoid spider wasp is a creature both terrible and beautiful. Its sting is fatal to spiders, but to us it is only annoying. This wasp is nature's perfect hunter, able to take down prey many times its size. With its long, sharp sting, it can pierce the toughest exoskeletons. The wasp's venom is a potent cocktail of neurotransmitters and enzymes. To the spider, it is a death sentence, but to us it is nothing more than a mild irritation. End Image ID.]

Spider hunting wasp in action!

This mother to be is carrying to her nest the body of a Clubiona spider, in which has been paralyzed and its legs cut off. This body will then be laid uptop with her eggs and used as a food source for her young.

Nature is fascinatingly brutal.
