English term or phrase: mud dauber wasp

Vespa da família Sphecidae ou Crabronidae que constrói os seus ninhos com barro.

No dicionário da Porto Editora só vem a descrição (abelha que constrói em barro a sua habitação), mas precisava mesmo era do nome em português, se é que isso existe.

PT-PT, se possível.
Obrigada

É possível tratar-se do vespa/marimbondo-caçador.
Veja: Esse oleiro da natureza é uma vespa, ou um marimbondo-caçador. Algumas espécies de vespas são solitárias. O macho vive de 3 a 4 semanas, tempo suficiente para encontrar uma fêmea e se acasalar. A fêmea vive mais tempo. Gasta seus 2 a 3 meses de vida construindo ninhos. Ela transporta as bolinhas de barro, segurando-as entre a cabeça e as pernas. O barro é misturado à saliva. Usando as mandíbulas, a vespa faz a base e depois vai moldando as várias camadas que formarão o pequeno pote. A tampa é curva e tem uma abertura no centro.
