- Hunting wasps are members of various taxa of the insect order Hymenoptera. Their habits and affinities vary in many ways, but all practise parental care of their larvae in that they capture prey, usually insects, to feed their larvae. Whether solitary or social, most species construct some form of protection or nest in which they hide the prey and in which the larvae can feed and pupate in reasonable security. Most solitary hunting wasps sting their prey in such a manner as to paralyse it without killing it. As a result it remains fresh for the young to eat. In contrast carnivorous social wasps generally feed prey piecemeal to the larvae as soon as they bring it back to the colony, so there is no need for preservation of the material. A minority of solitary hunting wasps, such as certain Bembicinae, also butcher their prey before feeding it to the larvae. (en)
- On appelle communément guêpes solitaires de nombreuses espèces de « guêpes ». Elles sont désignées ainsi par opposition aux « guêpes sociales » qui constituent seulement une partie de la famille des Vespidae. Ce groupe présente une grande diversité de formes, de tailles et de couleurs, ainsi qu'une grande variabilité de comportements, déjà mise en évidence par Fabre dans ses Souvenirs entomologiques. (fr)
