摘要: ABSTRACTAntennation can play several roles in hymenopteran copulation, mainly wasps. The digger wasp Sphex ingens Smith has a very peculiar sexual behaviour, which forced copulation is striking element. However, communication through antennation during the pre-copulation and phases relationship between performance of males final result require further clarification. behaviour wild populations S. was filmed breeding season site beaches Meros Aventureiro, Ilha Grande, southeastern Brazil. We assessed courtship duration, performance, genital clasping. Only successful had clasping assessed. Evidence found so far points out that showed better – is, they antennated more shorter duration. Also, did not depend on antennation, or sexu...
