What are the threats to the tarantula hawks survival?

Tarantula hawks face several threats to their survival, primarily habitat loss due to urbanization and agricultural expansion, which diminishes their natural environments. Pesticides and other chemicals used in farming can also negatively impact their populations by reducing prey availability and directly harming the wasps. Climate change poses an additional threat, altering ecosystems and affecting the availability of suitable habitats and food sources. Lastly, competition with other species for resources can further challenge their survival.
