Field Notes
Habitat:
The female wasp lays an egg inside the roach (egg case)...The larvae of these solitary wasps feed on cockroaches and develop inside the egg-cases (oothecae) of their hosts... Technically, they are thus predators...The adults drink nectar from flowers and neither they nor the larvae are dangerous or harmful to humans. source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evaniidae
