Extract

This wasp has been reported capturing as prey the western harvester or mound-building prairie ant, Pogonomyrmex occidentalis (Cresson), and carrying it on its sting or on the posterior end of the abdomen to its nest. During the month of September, 1932, the writer was again privileged to wasp and to make some further observations.
