Podalonia violaceipennis (Lepeletier, 1845)

Podalonia is a genus of parasitoidal wasps in the family Sphecidae. ^[1]

The genus is present worldwide with the exception of South America. ^[2] These wasps are similar to the related sand wasp genus, Ammophila , but they have a much shorter petiole, and the abdomen is slightly stronger. ^[3]

The females lay their nests in the sand. They normally incubate in large, hairless caterpillars of moths in the family Noctuidae. ^[3]
