The beetle-hunting habits of ground nesting wasps in the genus    Cerceris    Latreille have been recently exploited as a survey technique for exotic and native   Buprestidae  , particularly    Agrilus   planipennis    Fairmaire (the emerald ash-borer). While such methods have been developed for the wide-ranging eastern    Cerceris   fumipennis    Say, the survey potential of western buprestid-hunting    Cerceris    spp. has not been explored.    Cerceris   californica    Cresson is the most well-studied of the western buprestid feeders, and the only one known to occur in Washington state. Here we report the results of surveys conducted in Washington in 2012–2013 for    C.   californica    colonies, and numbers of buprestid beetles collected from monitored colonies. Eight    C.   californica    colonies were found through visual search of 228 baseball fields and sandy clearings, but only four were large enough to monitor. Fifty-four beetles were recovered from the four colonies, comprising five native species. Four of these are new prey records for    C.   californica   , and one (   Chrysobothris   quadriimpressa    Gory &amp; Laporte) is newly recorded from Washington.    Cerceris   californica    colonies do not appear to be large or common enough in Washington to be a significant exotic buprestid survey strategy. However, even the limited monitoring resulted in more buprestid captures than nearby purple sticky traps, and monitoring    C.   californica    nests may be a locally useful supplement for general buprestid surveys.
