Tarantula hawk
SengatanThe tarantula hawk is a very large wasp that hunts tarantulas, which are big hairy spiders. It lives from the southern United States through Mexico and Central America to northern South America, and also on the Caribbean islands. Its sting is among the most painful of any insect.1
Cara mengenalinya
- Black and orange colours, with several colour forms: an orange-winged form, a black-winged form, and in northern South America a form with a dark wing base, dark amber patches and a pale wing tip1
- Females are 30–51 mm long; males are 24–40 mm long1
- Jerky movements and a strong odour1
- Males have 12 antennal segments, which separates them from other Pepsis species, which have 131
Sering tertukar dengan: The black-winged form is hard to tell apart from Pepsis mexicana, but that species is always noticeably smaller. The robber fly Wyliea mydas copies the tarantula hawk's black body and bright orange wings, and makes stinging movements, but it cannot sting.1
Kekuatan bisa
Bisanya keluar lewat sengat.
Apa efek bisanya?
Tarantula hawks produce large amounts of venom. A sting causes immediate, intense pain that is short-lived, and it is among the greatest pain recorded for any stinging insect. The venom itself is not very toxic, so its defence works almost entirely through pain.1
Seberapa berbahaya bagi manusia?
Bahaya bagi manusia: MenyakitkanBisa sangat sakit, tetapi hampir tidak pernah serius.Only females can sting. The sting is considered the second most painful of any insect sting, scoring 4.0 on the Schmidt sting pain index, compared with 4.0+ for the bullet ant.1
Apa yang dilakukannya saat takut?
Its black and orange colours, jerky behaviour and strong odour warn predators that it can sting.1

Fakta
The female chooses the spider's size and sex for her eggs. Fertilised eggs go on large spiders and become females, and unfertilised eggs go on male spiders and become males.1
Roadrunners sometimes steal the tarantula from a wasp and leave the wasp unharmed. Others beat the wasp against the ground before eating it.1
The tarantula hawk is the state insect of New Mexico. Almost 10,000 schoolchildren voted for it, and it was made official by a law signed in 1989.1
Wasps of the genus Pepsis are important pollinators of milkweeds, which are poisonous to grazing livestock.1
