Figs. 5-6. Two views of female Sericophorus viridis with prey. These 
females have landed on the ground near their nests and will shortly pro- 
ceed to them. Note that the fly is held well back, beneath the abdomen of 
the wasp, the hind legs embracing the back of the fly’s thorax. In most 
cases the fly is venter-up, as in Fig. 5; carriage of the fly sideways (Fig. 6) 
is exceptional.
