Communal Nesting in the Digger Wasp Cerceris australis (Hymenoptera : Sphecidae)

Australian Journal of Zoology, 1982
Study of 39 nests of Cerceris australis at nine localities in eastern Australia has demonstrated that most nests are occupied by two or three successive generations of wasps and may ultimately contain well over 100 cells. Nests are dug deep in the soil and are provisioned with scarab beetles, which are allowed to accumulate in the burrow before from ...

Do digger wasps time their provisioning activity to avoid cuckoo wasps (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae and Chrysididae)?

acta ethologica, 2010
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

The Life-History and Habits of the Digger-Wasp Ammobia pennsylvanica (Linn.)

American Midland Naturalist, 1938
Peter Collinson (1749) reported to the Royal Society of London the habits of the "Great Black Wasp" of Pennsylvania, as communicated to him by John Bartram of Philadelphia. The drawings of the wasp and of her "large green grasshoppers" leave little doubt that they represent Ammobia pennsylvanica and her katydids, the first solitary digger-wasp of ...

Selection of host nests by intraspecific nest-parasitic digger wasps

Animal Behaviour, 1994
Abstract 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.
