The eumenine built its mud nests in numerous sites, usually in shaded locations. The nest consisted of 1–8 pot-shaped cells and was sometimes covered with a lay of mud after it was provisioned completely. The egg was laid before provisioning. The female stored 3–10 caterpillars of Noctuidae, Geometridae, Pieridae, and Plutellidae per nest cell, and left nest cells open during egg-laying and provisioning. The developmental time from the egg to the emergence of the adult wasp was 20–30 days under laboratory conditions. Mating of <em>D. esuriens</em> was taken place at flowers of <em>Bidens pilosa</em> L. and <em>Celosia cristata</em> L.<em>,</em> usually in the morning. The male seized a female, grasped her pronotum with his forelegs and quickly copulated with her for 4–10 s. <em>Delta esuriens</em> overwintered as prepupae and occurred in the wild for about eight months a year. The sex ratio was 1.17. The developmental mortality ratio was 25 % under laboratory conditions and 54.4 % under natural conditions. <em>Chrysis dissimilis</em> Dahlbom, <em>Chrysis</em> sp., <em>Trichrysis lusca</em> (Fabricius), <em>Melittobia sosui</em> Dahms, two Sarcophagidae satellite flies, and small red ants were predators of the eumenine.
