Sceliphron asiaticum

Sceliphron asiaticum is a species of thread-waisted wasp in the family Sphecidae.

[4] Wasps in the genus Sceliphron collect mud to make cells in which to lay their eggs.

One mud nest of S. asiaticum was collected from a house in northeastern Brazil; it was built of sandy silt, incorporated detritus and faeces, and contained twelve chambers.

Each chamber was provisioned with spider body parts and occupied by a single host larva.

All of these were parasitised and killed by M. asiaticum, leaving dry pupal husks.
