New and little-known digger wasps (Hymenoptera: Ampulicidae, Sphecidae, Crabronidae) from Russia
Zootaxa, 2021New additions to the knowledge of digger wasps (Ampulicidae, Sphecidae, Crabronidae) in Russia are provided. Tachysphex loktionovi Mokrousov & Proshchalykin, sp. nov. is described from Tyva Republic. Five species of digger wasps are reported from Russia for the first time: Hoplammophila clypeata (Mocsáry, 1883) (Sphecidae), Tachysphex desertorum F.

Azole fungicides have been essential pillars of global food security since the commercialization of triadimefon. However, the potential for fungicides to induce sublethal effects on larval development and emergence from overwintering is underresearched.

Nonrandom Provisioning by the Digger Wasp, Palmodes laeviventris (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae)
Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 1983Predation strategies of Palmodes laeviventris (Cresson), a predator of Mormon crickets, are described. Prey taken are compared with prey available. Although mean prey sizes are no larger than the population means, a positive correlation between wasp size and prey size indicates that females do take large prey but are limited by their own body size ...

Avian kleptoparasitism of the digger wasp Sphex pensylvanicus
The Canadian Entomologist, 2009AbstractKleptoparasitism (one organism stealing prey from another) is especially common in birds. Avian kleptoparasites should be especially likely to target insects such as digger wasps (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) that occur in large aggregations and repeatedly deliver large prey to the same nesting site.

Factors affecting body size and fat content in a digger wasp
Oecologia, 2000Body size is one of the most important life history traits. In mass-provisioning solitary Hymenoptera, the maximum attainable adult size is not under the control of the larva but is limited by the amount of resources provided by the mother. I investigated the effect of the amount of different maternal resources and potentially interfering abiotic ...

Strategies adopted by parasitoids and kleptoparasites co-evolve with the defensive adaptations of their hosts, and vice-versa. Hedychrum rutilans and Hedychrum nobile are brood parasites of, respectively, Philanthus triangulum and Cerceris arenaria, two digger wasps that share most aspects of their nesting biology (solitary females dig aggregated nests

A Signal Produced by a Digger Wasp Preying on Crickets
1990Females of the digger wasp Liris niger hunt for crickets to provide food for their larvae. They search for crickets by running very fast on the ground. Crickets are able to detect the approach of the hunting wasps by their cercal filiform hairs which are sensitive to wind.

Predicting Activity Patterns from Resource Exploitation in Guilds of Digger Wasps' Natural Enemies
Advanced Science Letters, 2012Nests of central-place foraging Hymenoptera are attacked by a wide range of parasitoids, kleptoparasites and predators. Since the resource use differs among such functional groups (host larvae, provisions or adult hosts), the activity patterns could vary accordingly with the different “best-match” with the host resources.

Selection of host nests by intraspecific nest-parasitic digger wasps
Animal Behaviour, 1994Abstract Abstract. This paper demonstrates that intraspecific nest parasites are selective in their choice of host nests. In a large nest aggregation, instead of digging new burrows, nest-less females of the digger wasp Cerceris arenaria entered pre-existing burrows and eventually used one of them.
