Parasitoid wasp and mud dauber
Trypoxylon sp
-19.8494, -40.21
Field Notes
Description:
Small Brachymeria wasp, about 3mm and fine wasp of Crabronidae measuring about 1cm approximately.
Habitat:
Nest located on the wall of my house.
Notes:
I registered a Brachymeria prowling Crabronidae nests, the Brachymeria stayed a long time on the nest, bothering the Crabronidae that worked in the sealing of the nest carrying small mud balls. I'm intrigued, could this Brachymeria be a parasitoid for Crabronidae's mud nests? Please, if anyone has information about this event, I'm very grateful.
