Field Notes

Description:

Here's another species that doesn't really have a common name, but since it's in the spider wasp group, spider wasp seems to fit. I can't find really anything on this species other than their binomial name and taxa tree. I can assume they prey on spiders as most spider wasps are out to do.

Habitat:

Found in Kansas, at the very least. If you know more about the species let me know.
