Four-toothed mason wasp

Sugar-water solution or overripe fruit may be used as bait to attract four-toothed mason wasp.

The larvae of four-toothed mason wasp are typically found in nests constructed in hollow stems or in wood cavities created by beetles. These nests are usually lined with mud and can be located in various natural or man-made structures that offer suitable tubular spaces. Searching for larvae would involve inspecting these types of habitats. Adult four-toothed mason wasp are often encountered on flowers, particularly those in the Apiaceae and Asteraceae families, as they forage for nectar and pollen. To find adults, one should visit flowering plants, especially during sunny weather when they are most active. Pupae of four-toothed mason wasp are generally found within the same nests as the larvae, thus searching for nests in the aforementioned locations during the transition season can lead to the discovery of pupae.

The best time to find adult four-toothed mason wasp is during warm days, usually mid-morning to late afternoon when they are most active.

Dry, sunny weather is ideal to find four-toothed mason wasp, as they are less active on cool or rainy days.
