They clinched again and rolled on the ground as before, and this time the fly was recovered by the rightful owner. At this point, thinking that perhaps one of the wasps was a male, and that this might be their style of courtship, we seized both of them, whereupon the ily was dropped and the two wasps turned their attention to at- tacking us. Both proved to be females. Not only do the Benibecids fight in this way for the possession of their prey, they even quarrel without any apparent cause. We ...have seen two females digging their nests at a little distance apart, one of which was repeatedly attacked by the other although she did nothing to provoke the aggressor. They are certainly very un- neighborly and have no idea of living in harmony. When fly- ing in a threatening manner, either at us or at each other, they have a way of wagging their abdomens violently from side to side in a way well calculated to inspire terror. In warm sunny weather spinolae works industriously through the middle of the day and seems determined to provide abund- antly not only for her own offspring but for any unbidden guests that it may be her fate to care for.
