Sceliphron
''Sceliphron'', also known as black mud daubers or black mud-dauber wasps, is a genus of Hymenoptera of the Sphecidae family of wasps. They are solitary mud daubers and build nests made of mud. Nests are frequently constructed in shaded niches, often just inside of windows or vent openings, and it may take a female only a day to construct a cell requiring dozens of trips carrying mud. Females will add new cells one by one to the nest after each cell is provisioned. They provision these nests with spiders, such as crab spiders, orb-weaver spiders and jumping spiders in particular, as food for the developing larvae. Each mud cell contains one egg and is provided with several prey items. Females of some species lay a modest average of 15 eggs over their whole lifespan. Various parasites attack these nests, including several species of cuckoo wasps, primarily by sneaking into the nest while the resident mud dauber is out foraging. As is the case with many insect genera, there are many ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Sceliphron Caementarium
''Sceliphron caementarium'', also known as the yellow-legged mud-dauber wasp, black-and-yellow mud dauber (within the US), or black-waisted mud-dauber (outside of the US), is a species of sphecid wasp. There are some 30 other species of ''Sceliphron'' that occur throughout the world, though in appearance and habits they are quite similar to ''S. caementarium''. Etymology The Latin species name ''caementarius'' means ''mason'' or ''builder of walls''. Distribution and habitat ''S. caementarium'' is widespread in Canada, the United States, Central America and the West Indies, and has been introduced to many Pacific Islands (including Australia, Hawaii, and Japan), Peru and Europe, where it has become established in some countries of the Mediterranean Basin (Croatia, France and Corsica, Italy, Cyprus, Malta, the Canary Islands, and Madeira) and Austria, and Ukraine.

Sceliphron Asiaticum
''Sceliphron asiaticum'' is a species of thread-waisted wasp in the family Sphecidae. It is native to the Neotropics, South America and the Caribbean region. Description The adult ''S. asiaticum'' has a black head, a black thorax with yellow bands, an elongated waist and a black abdomen, apart from the first abdominal segment which is yellow. The antennae are black, the wings membranous, and the legs yellow and black. Ecology In Trinidad, the two wasps ''S. asiaticum'' and '' S. fistularium'' have overlapping ranges; ''S. asiaticum'' tends to occupy drier areas with less forest cover. It also tends to form denser associations and the larvae are usually more heavily parasitised. Wasps in the genus ''Sceliphron'' collect mud to make cells in which to lay their eggs. One or more paralysed spiders is placed in each cell to provide food for the developing larva. There is a relationship between female size, fecundity and the sex of the offspring: small females lay fewer eggs, a higher ...
