Tiphiid flower wasps belong to the family Tiphiidae, which consists of parasitoid wasps known for their solitary behavior and their interactions with various types of insect prey, particularly beetles and other pests. While their common name suggests a connection to flowers, these wasps are more widely known for their parasitic relationship with specific insect species. Tiphiid flower wasps are solitary parasitoids, meaning that each female wasp hunts individually for suitable prey. Their larvae parasitize the grubs or larvae of beetles, especially those in the Scarabaeidae family (such as dung beetles and others)
