Scolia hirta is a species belonging to the family Scoliidae subfamily Scoliinae. It is present in most of mediterranean and central Europe, in East Palearctic ecozone, in the Near East and in North Africa. These massive solitary wasps dig in search of larvae of beetles (Cetoniidae species, especially Cetonia aurata, as well as Scarabaeidae species).
