Auplopus architectus is a species of spider wasp of the family Pompilidae.

[1][2] Auplopus architectus are small to medium sized wasps, with females as long as ⁠1+1/2⁠ in.

Found often near old buildings, but in the wild, nests are built in rock crevasses.

Nests are barrel shaped capsules, made of mud.
