Field Observations on the Defense and Hunting Behaviour of Pompilidae (Hymenoptera: Insecta) Species
Abstract
Abstract This study was conducted at 8
sites determined in the south-west of Kars rural are between 2009 and 2015.
During the study which was conducted between 9 am and 6 pm in a day, female
members of Anoplius viaticus
(Linnaeus 1758) of Pompilidae family, which were caught at the sites marked
with GPS, were marked and its hunting success, refinding the prey that was
lost, and the number of nests dug on a daily basis were examined. The study has
found out that, female members of pompilids Asilidae (Diptera:Insecta) family
attacked directly, whereas the members of Formica rufa Linnaeus,1761
attacked indirectly to pompilids. Obtained information is new about pompilids.
