Field notes

Bicyrtes is a genus of large, often brightly coloured predatory sand wasps. Many species in this genus provision their nests with paralyzed Pentatomidae, while other species make use of Reduviidae and Coreidae instead.

This genus gets its name ("two-humped") from the two noticeable projections arising from the rear of the mesosoma (middle segment).
