Pompilidae sp.
Author's comments:
El adulto hembra captura, pica y paraliza tarántulas o arañas de gran tamaño, arrastrándolas hasta su madriguera, donde deposita un solo huevo en el abdomen de la araña. Cuando la larva de la avispa eclosiona, se alimenta de la araña. Cuando son adultos, se alimentan del néctar de las flores. Los machos no cazan. La picadura en humanos es rara, salvo que se las moleste. Es una de las más dolorosas a nivel mundial; categoría 4 en el Índice de Dolor por Picaduras (Schmidt, 1983).
