Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Italic titleШаблон:Speciesbox Arachnospila anceps is one of the more common spider wasps of western Europe.
Description
A. anceps is a medium-sized, black and red spider wasp.
Distribution
This species is found in northern and central Europe, including most of Britain and Ireland, and in Asia east to Mongolia.[1]
Biology
The flight period is May to September and the species is probably univoltine. A wide range of spiders are taken as prey; the families Lycosidae, Clubionidae and Thomisidae have been recorded and Gnaphosidae and Agelenidae are also possible prey.[1] The spider is paralysed before being dragged backwards[2] to the nest site where it is hidden on a plant while the burrow is rapidly excavated. It occurs in a variety of habitats and on most soils with the possible exception of heavy clay soils.[1] There are no records of which flowers are visited by A. anceps for nectar.[1]
