The Yellow-spotted Sapyga
Wasp Monosapyga clavicornis
is an uncommon, but fairly widespread wasp with an
association with dead wood. The sexes are similar in appearance. It is a cleptoparasite of the Sleepy Carpenter or Large
Scissor Bee Chelostoma florisomne
and of Osmia bees utilising dead wood habitats for
nesting. The tips of the clubbed antennae are orange. Both M. clavicornis and its host bees feed on Creeping
Buttercups Ranunculus repens.
