Essay

We studied trophic relations of the digger wasps' adults and flowering plants. Еxperiments have showed presence of flower constancy. It is reliably associated both with ethologo-morphological characteristics of wasps and with ecomorphological characteristics of feeding plants. Presence of pollen-grains in intestinal tract of wasps was revealed. It supports the possibility of wasp's feeding with given nutrient.
