Spiketails: Vespivores

Spiketails of the Bay Area
I do not know where our local Spiketails emerge. I find them far from water, in open forest and chaparral.
They seem to feed exclusively on wasps and hornets. I have never seen them mating or ovipositing in our ponds.

Wow! I wish I could import some of these Pacific Spiketails to control our yellow jackets.
