Posiblemente Panurginus annulatus que se distribuye en el centro y sureste de España; sin embargo, esta especie no está bien definida

Se encuentra en zonas agrícolas, viven en plantas con flores en los márgenes de los cultivos y de la carretera.

Esta especie está amenazada por la eliminación de las flores silvestres de los cultivos y el uso intensivo de pesticidas.

Xylocopa aerata

Family: Apidae

Order: Hymenoptera

 

Once found more widely in Australia, this species is now confined to New South Wales and Kangaroo Island in South Australia. Unfortunately, since the great bush fires of 2019-2010, there have been no sightings on iNaturalist of these bees on Kangaroo Island (up until the time of writing this in 2025). A project to conserve the Species on Kangaroo island found two active nests in 2023 but the population remains critically endangered in that geographic area. The good news is that the NSW population recovered after the fires and there have been 212 iNaturalist sightings across NSW since 2019.

 

It is seen here feeding on Pasonsia straminae , which is a favourite food plant for the Ulladulla population of this bee. I have also seen them feeding on Hibbertia scandens and the introduced Salvia waverley .

 

This native bee makes a nest in the stalks of grasstrees (Xanthorrhoea species) and softwood bushes such as Banksia, Melaleuca and Casuarina. The female creates a tunnel using her jaws. The tunnel typically measures up to 300 mm in length and 11 mm to 14 mm in diameter. Multiple females may occupy a nest, with one breeding and others serving as guards. A bee can protect the entrance by blocking it with its abdomen. Both male and female bees might spend the winter inside these tunnels. The tunnels are often divided into several cells, each containing an egg and supplied with nectar and pollen by the mother bee.

Ces hyménoptères sont des parasites, selon les espèces de diptères, orthoptères, lépidoptères, coléoptères, homoptères et même hyménoptères. Parmi les diptères on peut citer les Tachinaires et parmi les hyménoptères les Ichneumonidés. C'est à dire que certaines espèces de ce genre parasitent des insectes qui sont eux-mêmes des parasites d'autres arthropodes !

canon 500d sigma 180mm......................The stings of worker wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets are modified egg-laying structures called "ovipositors." Because workers do not lay eggs, their ovipositors are used only for stinging.

 

Although all of the wasps mentioned on this page are in the family Vespidae, not all wasps in this family live in hives. Some are solitary and live alone in small burrows.

...è un imenottero (famiglia Crabronidae).

 

Questo insetto costruisce una cella sotterranea dove depone l'uovo; prima di sigillare l'apertura inserisce le prede (esclusivamente cicaline) che costituiscono il cibo per la larva.
