Arachnospila consobrina

Arachnospila consobrina is a little-known Palaearctic spider wasp.

Like other members of the sub-genus Ammosphex this is a medium-sized red and black spider wasp.

[2] Northern and central Europe, marginally in southern Britain, and also Africa and Asia.

The only observation of A. consobrina with prey concerns a female found under a stone near Constantinople carrying a Segestria florentina which was reported in Fahringer.

[2][3] The nesting biology of A. consobrina is almost completely unknown, but like other Arachnospila species in the sub-genus Ammosphex it is adapted to digging in loose sandy soils.
