sand wasps are still breeding
Austrogorytes (?). The females stock their underground nests with paralysed leafhoppers. She closes the burrow entrance when she’s off hunting, so has to dig it open each time she returns with a bug.
for future study
Clitemnestra, another sand wasp (Bembicinae), this one a male on alert for females or rival males. Little is known about the biology of these wasps but they probably also hunt leafhoppers. I plan to take a closer look at this species some time soon.
