Esemplare femmina di Sphex funerarius (vespa scavatrice). L'appellativo deriva dal suo inusuale modo di riprodursi. Questa vespa, infatti, caccia altri insetti che, una volta storditi, vengono trascinati fino al nido sotterraneo. Qui depone le uova sulle prede (vive ma paralizzate) che verranno consumate dalle larve. S. funerarius predilige predare ortotteri per sfamare le sue larve. [Foto scattata con Honor 7X tramite fotocamera di Adobe Lightroom App e postprodotta con Adobe Lightroom Classic CC 8.2.1]
