Thanks for your interest in our blog. Yours is an original request, and an interesting one – I was once fortunate enough to collect tarantula hawks in California, and often watch the related “cicada killers” here in NY, they really are amazing creatures. The only dealer who carries tarantula hawks and related wasps is Hatari Invertebrates (http://www.insecthobbyist.com/hatari/). Availability varies with the season, but Hemipepsis and several other species appear from time to time…they also stock a wide variety of other difficult-to-locate North American and exotic invertebrates. Good luck and please keep me posted. Best regards, Frank Indiviglio. Hello John, Frank Indiviglio here.
