 In a 1919 publication from the "Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington", it was noted that the species is prey for the wasp despite its "large size" and "formidable nature".In a 2005 study about the mating system of the wasp by the "Journal of Natural History", a specimen of the wasp was recorded as having dragged the katydid's instar into its burrow.It was mentioned in the 2005 study because the only report up to that time on the wasp was of it feeding on the katydid.
