Abstract
AbstractThe beetle-hunting wasp,Cerceris fumipennisSay (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae), native to eastern North America, provisions its subterranean nest almost exclusively with adult metallic wood-boring beetles (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), including the destructive emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennisFairmaire, EAB). This wasp provides a unique opportunity to survey indigenous and nonindigenous buprestid diversity. We discuss the accessibility, sustainability, and productivity ofC. fumipenniswith respect to its application as a buprestid surveying and monitoring tool.
