Priorvespa quadrata

Priorvespa quadrata

This extinct wasp likely lived among warm woodland vegetation, using rapid flight to travel between nesting and feeding sites. Adults would have taken sugary fluids such as nectar, while also seeking animal food for themselves or their developing young. Like modern relatives, it had a narrow waist linking its thorax and abdomen, making the body highly flexible in close defense.
