The mammoth wasp is the largest wasp found in Europe. It looks a bit like a very big bumble bee, and it lives in warm, dry places around the Mediterranean and across parts of Asia. Its young grow up inside beetle grubs.1

It lives in Mediterranean-type habitats such as oak forests, maquis and garrigue. In Russia it is most common around people, where manure piles, sawmills and compost heaps give its prey somewhere to live.1

  • Glossy black body covered in fine, downy hair1
  • Two yellow bands across the abdomen, sometimes split into four yellow spots1
  • Females have a yellow head; males have a black head1
  • Females can reach 4.5 cm, and males are smaller than females1
  • Looks like a very large, elongated bumble bee1

Ñu ngi koy faral di jaxasoo ak: It is often confused with Scolia hirta. That wasp is smaller and has a black head.1

The female stings the beetle grub to paralyse it, so it cannot move. Its venom is used on prey, not as a defence for people. The sting paralyses the beetle grub so the wasp's larva can feed on it.1

Xibaar

1

It is the largest wasp found in Europe.1

2

It is a parasitoid: its young develop by feeding on another insect, a beetle grub, which dies in the process.1

3

Some researchers suggest it was the model for a gold Minoan pendant called the Malia Pendant.1

4

The European rhinoceros beetle is its main host, but it also lays eggs on the grubs of several other beetles, including the European stag beetle.1

The female lays a single egg on a paralysed beetle grub. The wasp larva eats the grub, except its skin, then builds a cocoon and emerges as an adult the following spring.1
