The rusty-winged tarantula hawk is a large wasp, with a matte black body and rust-orange wings. It lives in the dry Southwestern United States. Its sting is strong enough to paralyse a tarantula, which the wasp then uses to feed its young.1

  • Matte black body with rust-orange wings1
  • Grows up to 5 cm long, among the largest wasps of its order1
  • Long legs, used to grapple with prey1
  • Males are smaller and more slender than females, with a more vibrant wing colour1
  • The antenna has twelve segments1

Askotan honekin nahasten da: Its relatives in the genus Pepsis look very similar. Pepsis wasps are more metallic black, with deep-blue striped patterns. The only reliable way to tell them apart is by the pattern of veins in their wings.1

  • Atera erlearen eztena karrakatuz eta hoztu lekua.
  • Pertsonak arnasa hartzeko zailtasunak baditu, aurpegia edo eztarria hanpatuta baditu, edo zorabiatzen ari dela sentitzen badu, larrialdi alergikoa da: deitu zure larrialdi-zenbakira eta erabili bere adrenalina-autoinjektagailua, baldin badu.

Egon seguru

  • Ez ukitu, ez harrapatu eta ez zirikatu inoiz animalia basati bat, txikia izan arren, eta lo edo hilda dagoela badirudi ere.
  • Utzi tartea. Bat aurkitzen baduzu, egon lasai, egin atzera poliki eta utzi bere bidetik joaten.
  • Batek ziztatzen bazaitu: egon lasai, egon geldi, deitu zure larrialdi-zenbakira (112, 000, 911) edo joan ospitalera azkar. Gogoratu nolakoa zen, argazki batek laguntzen du.

Ez dabil zure atzetik. Pozoia janaria harrapatzeko edo bere burua babesteko erabiltzen du, eta askoz nahiago du ezkutatu. Seguru egoteari buruz gehiago

Datuak

1

The larva eats its living host from the inside. It hollows out the tarantula until the spider dies, once feeding reaches the bases of its legs.1

2

After paralysing a tarantula, the female may drag it up to 100 m to a burrow or cavity, where she seals it in with her egg.1

3

Males fight for territory in mid-air. The two wasps clash wings and spiral upwards, and larger males usually win and push smaller males off the best perches.1

4

Males gather on mountain ridges in great numbers during the breeding season, while females are rarely seen.1

5

Adult wasps do not grow after they emerge, so smaller males are at a permanent disadvantage when competing with larger ones.1

The female lays one egg on each tarantula she has paralysed. The egg is about 5 mm long, and the larva that hatches from it feeds on the spider.1
