Dipogon Variegatus
''Dipogon variegatus'' is a pompilid spider wasp in the subfamily Pepsinae from the Palearctic. Identification ''Dipogon variegatus'' can reach a body length of about . Like the other two British species of '' Dipogon'' this is an all black wasp with bifasciate forewings (two dark brown bands) with a white spot at the top. The females can be recognised by transverse wrinkles on the first abdominal segment, in males these are less prominent and the subgenital plate at the tip of the abdomen has long ventral hairs. Distribution This species can be found in most of Europe, in the eastern Palearctic realm, and in North Africa. In Britain it is mainly found in England and Wales with scattered records in the south of Scotland and the central Highlands but has not been recorded recently in Ireland. Habitat These wasps inhabit a wide variety of open habitats including gardens, parks, fields, meadows and coastal heaths. Biology Adults have a flight period from May to October. ''D.va ...

Dipogon Subintermedius
''Dipogon subintermedius'' is a spider wasp from the family Pompilidae. Identification Like '' D. bifasciatus'', this is an all-black species with bifasciated wings, but the female has shorter antennae than ''D. bifasciatus''. Distribution and habitat Found from southern Great Britain north, it has an isolated population in the central Scottish Highlands, although the species has not been recorded in Ireland, through central and eastern Europe east to Mongolia. It is the most common of the three species of ''Dipogon'' found in Britain. It prefers woodland and hedgerows where dead wood is present to provide breeding sites. Biology In Britain, this wasp flies from June to September. The only recorded prey in Britain is a species of spider '' Segestria senoculata'' from the family Segestriidae, but elsewhere, spiders of the genus ''Clubiona'' (Clubionidae) have been recorded as prey. The spider is carried to the wasp's nest by its spinnerets, and prey is then malaxated, which m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dipogon Sayi
''Dipogon sayi'' is a species of spider wasp of the family Pompilidae. Description This species is among the smaller spider wasps. The body is black, slender, and long-legged. The clear wings are banded, with the band closest to the thorax thinner than the one near the wingtip.Eaton, Eric R., and Kenn Kaufman. Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of North America. Houghton Mifflin Co., 2007. Habitat This species is found in woods, where it searches stems, twigs, logs, trunks, and branches for nest sites. Behavior This species nests in preexisting cavities, namely those in trees. Prey includes most of the common species of spiders. ''D. sayi'' rarely visits flowers, though it is recorded on Queen Anne's Lace Queen Anne's lace is a common name for a number of plants in the family Apiaceae. including: * ''Ammi majus'', native in the Nile River Valley * '' Anthriscus sylvestris'', a herbaceous biennial or short-lived perennial plant * '' Daucus carota'', ...
