  • A Spangled-winged Thread-waisted Wasp (Ammophila pictipennis) places a larger pebble on its nest entrance to hide it from other insects. These wasps dig a brood tunnel and lay a single egg on a stung caterpillar. Then, before they leave to hunt for additional caterpillars (to ensure the larva has enough food until they pupate), they plug the brood chamber entrance with a larger pebble and hide it with the surrounding sand. Camouflaging the entrance prevents predation and parasitization of their larva by other insects.

This image shows how it bends its front legs,  using the stronger hairs on them to move the sand quickly.
