Unique behavior...
I think this carrying behavior might be significant, I'm just not sure how. Every reference I have seen of Ageniella that amputated all of the legs carried thier prey dorsally and from the anterior end of the spider (the complete opposite of this wasp). Neat series. If I was absoltuely sure of the identity of this wasp that behavior might very well be publishable.
