مستخلص: AbstractThe biology of Mimumesa littoraliswas studied on sandy soil (Sierakowo) and wasteland with hard substrate (Kowalewo Pomorskie) in northern Poland. The study presents information on the bionomics of the rare digger wasp Mimumesa littoralis(Bondroit,1934). Females of Mimumesa littoralisnested both on sandy soil and wasteland with hard substrate. Their nests consisted of 2–3 cells. One cell contained up to 11 prey items belonging to species from five genera: Megadelphaxspp., Dicranotropis hamata, Javesellaspp., Laodelphax striatella, Javesella pellucida(Hemiptera: Delphacidae), and Streptanussp. (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), which had not been previously reported in the literature. The frequency with which the female brought prey to the nest varied from 12 to 21 min. In addition, the kleptoparasite Senotainia conica(Diptera: Sarcophagidae) was found in the nest. Adult individuals were observed feeding on the flowers of Pimpinellasp.
