在泸州市大通山进行野外调查过程中,发现了一种十分罕见的泥蜂筑巢现象。一种泥蜂科昆虫:末微蜾蠃(Apodynerys formosenes),不是利用常见的泥土筑巢,而是利用接近凝固状态的松脂制作巢穴,并能完成后代的抚育任务。在以往关于泥蜂的行为记录中尚未有过类似记载。特此报道,以供参考。

摘要: 在泸州市龙马潭区发现了一种罕见的泥蜂(末微蜾蠃)筑巢行为,颠覆了以往对于泥蜂科昆虫筑巢行为的记录和认知。该蜾蠃筑巢所用的材料不是常见的泥土,而是松树分泌出的松脂。单个松脂巢穴外形呈圆筒形,内径10 mm,外径16 mm,长度约15 mm,由经泥蜂加工过的小松脂球垒积而成,松脂球直径0.5—1 mm。蜂巢外观精致,结构巧妙,整体呈乳白色,呈半透明状,并且松脂蜂巢中还有一只即将发育成熟的泥蜂,这说明松脂蜂巢的功能和常见的泥质蜂巢完全一致。此次发现,充分体现了蜾蠃的生存智慧以及对环境资源的巧妙利用,大大丰富了对该类型昆虫生活习性的认知。Abstract: During the forestry pest investigation in Luzhou city, Sichuan province, a rare nesting behavior of mud wasp (Apodynerys formosenes) was firstly discovered, which overturned the previous record and cognition of nest-building behavior of mud wasps. In this nesting behavior, the material used for the nest building was not the common soil, but the resin was secreted from the wounded pines. A single resin nest was cylindrical in shape, with an inner diameter of 10 mm, an outer diameter of 16 mm and a length of about 15 mm. It was formed with many little resin balls processed by mud wasp, and the diameter of the resin balls is 0.5-1 mm. The nest was delicate in appearance, ingenious in structure, milky white and semitransparent. Moreover, there was a mud wasp which was about to mature in the resin nest, which showed that the function of the resin nest was completely consistent with that of the common mud wasps. The newly discovery resin nesting behavior of the mud wasps, fully reflected the survival wisdom of Apodynerys formosenes and the ingenious utilization of environmental resources, and greatly enriched the cognition of the living habits of this type of insects.
