The trapdoor spider digs into the ground to create a nest that is also a trap. A wasp drills into trees to find safe, food-filled havens for its eggs.

This wasp lives in the pine forests of North America, Europe and New Zealand. Hot Rod Bugs When it is time to lay her eggs, the female ichneumon wasp finds a pine tree. She lands on a trunk or branch and gently taps the wood with her antennae. She is listening for a hollow sound that tells her there is a grub inside. Look at the Autos for Sale ads in the newspaper. Using the format of these ads, write ads with descriptions of different insects. For example: Sleek Optima Ladybug, brand new wing casings, red and black, new owner, 7-day warranty, 5-speed, tinted windows, all-weather wings. With the sharp tip of her ovipositor, she pierces through the bark and drills until she finds the grub. She lays a single egg in the grub’s body. In a few days, the tiny ichneumon young hatches and feasts on the grub’s fat body. When it is big enough, it tunnels out of the tree and flies. Adult ichneumon wasps drink the nectar of flowers.
