Summary

Sphecidae is a family of insects commonly known as digger wasps or thread-waisted wasps. They are solitary insects that are known for their impressive hunting and nesting behaviors. These wasps typically prey on other insects, paralyzing them with venom before bringing them back to their underground nests as food for their larvae. Sphecidae are characterized by their slender, elongated waists and can be found in various habitats worldwide.
