Ampulicidae
Ampulicidae is a family of insects belonging to the order Hymenoptera, commonly known as digger wasps. These wasps are characterized by their predatory nature, primarily targeting cockroaches. The family is relatively small, with only a few genera and a limited number of species found worldwide, though they are most diverse in tropical and subtropical regions.
A defining feature of Ampulicidae is their remarkable hunting strategy. Female wasps subdue their cockroach prey
Once inside the nest, the wasp lays a single egg on the body of the paralyzed cockroach.
