==Biology== A female spider wasp generally captures and stings a spider to paralise it; this is for their larvae to feed on. However, the wasps of this subfamily display a range of nesting behaviours: using preexisting cavities; using the immobilised spider's burrow; digging a burrow in soil; building nests of mud; parasitoids; and kleptoparasites.
