Sphex funerarius
The Golden Digger Wasp is a shiny, yellow wasp that loves to dig in the ground. It makes little tunnels to store food for its babies. These wasps are helpful because they catch pests like caterpillars!
Hábitat: Grasslands
The Golden Digger Wasp has a slender, mostly black body with striking bright orange-gold segments on its abdomen. It possesses a very narrow 'waist' (petiole) connecting its thorax and abdomen, which distinguishes it from many other wasps.
