Abstract

Stereotyped motor patterns related to oviposition and prey transport of the cockroach-hunting solitary wasp Penepodium luteipenne (Fabricius, 1804) are described. Notes on provision, structure and aggregation of the nests are also provided. The fieldwork was carried out in the Biological Station of Santa Lúcia, an area covered with Atlantic Forest in Southeastern Brazil.
