Podalonia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Automated taxobox". Podalonia is a genus of parasitoidal wasps in the family Sphecidae.[1]

The genus is present worldwide with the exception of South America.[2] These wasps are similar to the related sand wasp genus, Ammophila, but they have a much shorter petiole, and the abdomen is slightly stronger.[3]

The females lay their nests in the sand. They normally incubate in large, hairless caterpillars of moths in the family Noctuidae.[3]
