Entypus unifasciatus is a species of spider wasp in the family Pompilidae.[1]
Description
[edit]Theses spider wasps are black with a bluish sheen, yellow antennae, and wings ranging from mostly orange to mostly black with an orange band near the apex.[1]
Range
[edit]Entypus unifasciatus occurs from transcontinental North America, except in the northwest, to South America.[1]
Ecology
[edit]Female wasps paralyze large spiders and deposit them in burrows. The wasp lays a fertilized egg upon the spider; after hatching, the larva feeds on the living but paralyzed spider until maturing into a pupa that overwinters, and emerges as a winged adult next summer.[2]
Taxonomy
[edit]Entypus unifasciatus contains the following subspecies:[1][3]
- Entypus unifasciatus californicus (Townes, 1957)
- Entypus unifasciatus cressoni (Banks, 1929)
- Entypus unifasciatus dumosus (Spinola, 1851)
- Entypus unifasciatus unifasciatus (Say, 1828)
