Wasps are fairly common in the deserts of California and Arizona especially species in the genera Pepsis and Hemipepsis in the family Pompilidae. They are quite large and females hunt large Spiders or tarantulas which they paralyze with a sting. The still living tarantula is then buried with eggs of the wasp and serve as food for the developing larval wasps. The sting from these wasps is quite painful, one of the most painful of all insect stings.
