Found this wasp on 22 June, Israel. Was dragging that paralyzed spider. Edited by zcuc on 28-10-2007 11:18 |

And a close look on the spider. It is also possible to identify it? |

Its a spider wasp (Pompilidae). What I can see from the wing venation, it may be the genus Tachyagetes. Species ID is not possible by the photo. Regards, Christian |

thanks Christian, The photo was taken with my old camera, so the image quality is not great. Does Tachyagetes search for specific prey? or any good size spider will do? |

The prey relationsship in most Pompilidae from Med. countries is still unknown. Probably the wasp takes all suited spiders (from size and type) in a special habitat. Regards, Christian |

Hello, Jorge! jorgemotalmeida wrote: the spider seems to be an Amaurobiidae. Amaurobius sp. To me it seems more like an Agelena (Agelenidae). Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

i thought the same,, but there is a problem : the prosoma is very acute for an Agelenidae. |
