| | Hymenoptera: Pompilidae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | Like the Vespidae, the Pompilidae have the pronotum extending back to the tegulae, the pronotum thus appearing triangular when viewed from the side and horseshoe-shaped when viewed from above. |
 | | Some species sting and paralyze their prey and then transport it to a specially constructed nest before laying an egg. |
