Megarhyssa macrurus, also known as the long-tailed giant ichneumonid wasp [1] or long-tailed giant ichneumon wasp, [2] is a species of large ichneumon wasp. [3] It is a parasitoid, notable for its extremely long ovipositor which it uses to deposit an egg into a tunnel in dead wood bored by its host, the larva of a similarly large species of horntail.
This species appears as a shield beetle, with an orange bottom, a big black stripe, a black joiner with two white quarter ovals and a small white oval. the head is round and the antennae are black with yellow tips. [3]
The adult of P. punctulatus is 11-13 mm long and has a mostly black body with a yellow spot at the apex of the scutellum. There are six legs which are black and cream in colour. The head as well as the humeral angles of the pronotum are pointed. [4]
For example Paragus tibialis [7] [8] [9] is 3–5 mm (1 ⁄ 8 – 13 ⁄ 64 in) long, while Criorhina nigriventris is 13.6–20.6 mm (17 ⁄ 32 – 13 ⁄ 16 in) long. [10] Some, such as members of the genus Baccha , are small, elongated, and slender, while others, such as members of Criorhina , are large, hairy, and yellow and black.
Sceliphron caementarium, also known as the yellow-legged mud-dauber wasp, black-and-yellow mud dauber (within the US), or black-waisted mud-dauber (outside of the US), is a species of sphecid wasp. There are some 30 other species of Sceliphron that occur throughout the world, though in appearance and habits they are quite similar to S ...
It reaches 9–18 millimetres (0.35–0.71 in) in length. It features prominent yellow and black patterns along its head and abdomen, in what is believed to be an evolutionary attempt to mimic wasps and avoid predation. It also possesses thin legs and antennae that move in small, quick movements, which supports the wasp-mimicking hypothesis.
Scutigera coleoptrata, also known as the house centipede, is a species of centipede that is typically yellowish-grey and has up to 15 pairs of long legs. Originating in the Mediterranean region, it has spread to other parts of the world, where it can live in human homes. [1]
From a distance, M. robiniae can easily be mistaken for a wasp or bee, due to its black and yellow striped pattern. It can also be mistaken for two closely related species: M. caryae and M. decora. The adult beetle can be 11 to 28 mm (0.43 to 1.10 in) long, and it has a W-shaped third stripe on the elytra. The antennae of both sexes are dark ...
