Nest Characteristics and Prey Selection of Sceliphron destillatorium (Apoidea, Sphecidae) on the Territory of the Rivnenskyi Nature Reserve

The nesting behaviour and prey selection of Sceliphron destillatorium remains poorly studied in Ukraine. In the present study we analysed a total of 59 nests of S. destillatorium. The main morphometric parameters of S. destillatorium nests, especially cell length and width, were determined by measur...
