General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere It appears adult Sand Wasps eat pollen, but have no pollen carrying ability to feed their young. In fact it seems they feed their young flies! We can hardly wait to photograph one filling it's nest with a fly to show you. | |||||
