Download or read book Wild Bees Wasps and Ants and Other Stinging Insects written by Edward Saunders and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-08-10 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The object of this little book is to give in as simple a form as possible a short account of some of the British Wild Bees, Wasps, Ants, etc., scientifically known as the Hymenoptera aculeata. Of these the non-scientific public rarely recognizes more than the Hive Bee, the Humble Bee, the Wasp, and the Hornet, whereas there are about 400 different kinds to be found in this country, and they can be recognized by any one who is disposed to make a special study of the group. These pages are written only for the non-scientific, as the scientific entomologist will be already familiar with the elementary facts recorded; but it is hoped that they may be of interest to lovers of Nature who wish to know a little about the insects they see around them and how they spend their lives. Of this knowledge very little exists, as the scraps which have been here brought together evidence. There is an immense field open for research and observation, and the writer of this little book will be very glad if the following pages should encourage anyone to take up the subject and add to our present scanty stock of information.

This book was released on 2020-11-01 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Insects are so abundant and so underappreciated. It is very easy for us to wish insects were all removed or eradicated. Such actions, however, would end life on planet earth as we know it. The truth is that insects, particularly those of the order Hymenoptera (which include bees, wasps, and hornets), serve specific and crucial purposes in our ecosystem. Some pollinate trees and plants or hunt other formidable pests that can either damage crops or injure people. This book seeks to educate and provide the reader with enough of a biological understanding to appreciate how we can co-exist and avoid injuries, with even the stinging insects.

Book excerpt: The ultimate visual journey into the beautiful and complex world of wasps Wasps are far more diverse than the familiar yellowjackets and hornets that harass picnickers and build nests under the eaves of our homes. These amazing, mostly solitary creatures thrive in nearly every habitat on Earth, and their influence on our lives is overwhelmingly beneficial. Wasps are agents of pest control in agriculture and gardens. They are subjects of study in medicine, engineering, and other important fields. Wasps pollinate flowers, engage in symbiotic relationships with other organisms, and create architectural masterpieces in the form of their nests. This richly illustrated book introduces you to some of the most spectacular members of the wasp realm, colorful in both appearance and lifestyle. From minute fairyflies to gargantuan tarantula hawks, wasps exploit almost every niche on the planet. So successful are they at survival that other organisms emulate their appearance and behavior. The sting is the least reason to respect wasps and, as you will see, no reason to loathe them, either. Written by a leading authority on these remarkable insects, Wasps reveals a world of staggering variety and endless fascination. Packed with more than 150 incredible color photos Includes a wealth of eye-popping infographics Provides comprehensive treatments of most wasp families Describes wasp species from all corners of the world Covers wasp evolution, ecology, physiology, diversity, and behavior Highlights the positive relationships wasps share with humans and the environment
