Isodontia auripes, the brown-legged grass-carrier, is a species of thread-waisted wasp in the family Sphecidae.[1][2][3][4] The wasp will opportunistically use old nests made by Xylocopa virginica or mining bees. Larvae eat for three days and then spend two forming pupae. Oecanthus is a common prey item throughout I. auripes' range. [5] I. auripes lives along the east coast of the United States.[2]
