Ceropales bipunctata bipunctata Say View in CoL (Two speckled cuckoo spider wasp)
Five words is a lengthy common name! Speckled is defined as “covered with many small spots or patches of color.” Ceropales b. bipunctata has a few cream-colored spots or lines on the clypeus and scape and a small spot above the hind coxa ( Townes 1957), but this species is hardly speckled. The most recognizable taxonomic characteristic of C. b. bipunctata is the bright rufous hindfemur ( Fig. 3 View Figures 1–6 ), but there are many other spider wasp species with this characteristic.
