Trypoxylon lactitarse is a species of square-headed wasp in the family Crabronidae.[1][2][3][4] It is found in Central America, North America, and South America.[1] These are fairly common harmless black wasps that build muddy elongate nests on the external walls of houses and low-story apartments. Their characteristic nests resemble pan-flutes in shape, and are provisioned with spiders captured and paralysed by the mother wasp.[5] It lays an egg within each elongate nest cell amongst the invalid spiders, from which a larva will hatch and slowly consume all spiders as food.[6] This species apparently undergoes four larval moults [7] until completing their development as pupae inside a black cocoon.
