Hymenoptera 52 – Ruby-tailed Wasps
RUBY-TAILED WASP Hedychridium
roseum
·
Ruby-tailed,
Jewel or Cuckoo Wasps
(Chrysididae) can be difficult insects to
identify but Hedychridium roseum poses fewer problems than most as it
possesses a conveniently matt (non-metallic) orange-red abdomen. The main host
species is likely to be the black and red digger wasp Astata
boops, a shieldbug
predator.
