''Hemipepsis ustulata'' is a species of tarantula hawk native to the Southwestern United States. Tarantula hawks are a large, conspicuous family of long legged wasps which prey on tarantulas. They use their long legs to grapple with their tarantula prey before paralyzing them with a powerful sting. Their stings are ranked second most painful in the insect world. The tarantula hawk is also the state insect of New Mexico. They are a solitary wasp species, displaying lekking territorial behavior in their mating rituals. ==Description and identification== ''Hemipepsis ustulata'' generally have matte black bodies with rust-orange wings. They are among the largest of ''Hymenoptera'', growing up to 5 cm in length. It is difficult to distinguish ''Hemipepsis'' from their ''Pepsis'' relatives. However, ''Pepsis'' tend to be a more metallic black with a deep blue striped patterning. Since their biology and appearance is so similar, the only reliable way to tell them apart is by their wing venation patterns.〔Evans, Howard E.
