Chalybion bengalense, Family: Sphecidae Mud daubers, as they belong to different families, are variable in appearance, but most resemble long, slender wasps about 1-inch (25 mm) in length;. The name refers to the nests that are made by the female wasps, which consist of mud molded into place by the wasp's mandibles. Mud daubers are not aggressive and stings are very uncommon. Like most other wasps, mud daubers are predators. The females not only build the nests, but also they hunt to provision them. Adults of both sexes frequently drink flower nectar, but they stock their nests with spiders. To capture a spider, the wasp grabs it and stings it. The venom from the sting does not kill the spider, but paralyzes and preserves it so it can be transported and stored in the nest cell until consumed by the larva. Mud daubers have caused airline accidents by building nests in aircraft's pitot tubes. The mud dauber wasp Chalybion bengalense is perhaps the most widespread species of the genus. It has been recorded from the Eastern coasts of Africa, the Sinai Peninsula, Oman and Iraq, eastward through India, China, Japan, Indonesia and the Philippi-nes, to New Guinea and Australia.
