This is a drawing of a sphecidae wasp and I found it hunting a cricket under a tree in the leaf litter. These wasps may be seen hunting on several orders of Insects like Orthoptera- (grasshoppers and crickets), Bliattaria (cockroaches), Isoptera (termites). It also feeds on beetle larva which it digs out from small crevices either from bark, earth or leaf litter. It also feeds on larva of Lepidoptera (Butterflies and moths) etc. I could make only one observation of this.
