Tachysphex nigerrimus is a native hunting wasp found throughout New Zealand. The adults usually nest in the shingle and sand on the banks of streams and rivers high enough so the nests are not destroyed by floods. The females kill the small native cockroach ( Celatoblatta species) and then drags them back to her burrow to feed her larvae.
