Gioiella (wasp)

Gioiella is a genus of wasps belonging to the family Crabronidae. These wasps are solitary predators, meaning they do not live in colonies and each female constructs and provisions her own nest. They are known for their hunting behavior, typically preying on specific insects or spiders, which they paralyze and use as food for their developing larvae. The genus Gioiella is relatively small and not widely studied compared to some other groups within Crabronidae. Identification to the species level often requires examination of minute morphological details. Details about their geographical distribution, specific prey preferences, and nesting habits are still being researched and documented. Information on these wasps might be limited due to their cryptic nature and the difficulty in identifying them correctly.
