This study surveys and attempts to interpret the different behavioralinteractions between the solitary wasp Liris nigra V.d.L, and cricketsof the species Gryllulus domesticus L. in different hunting situations.Significant variations are recorded, some of which are predictable,others not. Wasp-cricket interactions and responses become morefrequent, vigorous and complete from onset to peak of the huntingphase. Discussion is concerned mainly with releasing conditions, withcharacteristics and possible meaning of the interactions and responses.The problem is placed in the context of general defense, alarmreactions, predator-prey interactions and possible correspondingbehavioral adaptations
