These wasps are brood parasitoids of crabronid wasps, bees, and eumenine vespids. [2] They are generally kleptoparasites, laying their eggs in host nests, where their larvae consume the host, egg, or larva while it is still young, then consuming the provisions. [1] The ovipositor is tube-like, and used to slip the eggs into the host nests.

The Tiphiidae (also known as tiphiid wasps, [1] flower wasps, [2] [note 1] or tiphiid flower wasps [3]) are a family of large, solitary wasps whose larvae are parasitoids of various beetle larvae, especially those in the superfamily Scarabaeoidea. [4]
With the exception of the Cynipidae (the gall wasps), it is a poorly known group as a whole, though there are nearly 3000 known species in total, and a great many species are still undescribed, mostly in the Figitidae. [1]
Cymbopogon nardus, common name citronella grass, is a species of perennial aromatic plant from the family Poaceae, originating in tropical Asia. C. nardus cannot be eaten because of its unpalatable nature and is an invasive species that renders pastureland useless, since cattle will starve even in its abundance.
