Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wasp Studies Afield The present volume embodies the results of four years of out-of-door study of some of our most interesting and highly developed insects, in their native haunts, while pursuing their occupations in their own way. Biological and behavior work on the American wasps has been, for the most part, desultory and incomplete, and we hope that these chapters may, in their small way, fill the gap that exists. We have no apology to make for the frequent use of anthropomorphic ideas, terms and interpretations. However, one must not read into these terms any subtle metaphysical meaning. They are used as apt descriptive expressions, and not for the purpose of predicating logical thinking to these creatures. This work as a whole is descriptive; the comparative and philosophical, as well as the correlative, data have been reserved for a later volume. Unless otherwise stated, all of the observations were made at St. Louis or within a radius of thirty miles of that city. The sketches for the illustrations were made in the field and executed in their final form by Dr. Gustave Dahms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bees and Wasps The terms bee and wasp probably do not, except to an entomologist, denote more than a very small assemblage of insects. The honey-bee and perhaps one or two species of bumble-bees on the one hand, and the yellow and black banded insects that cause such consternation at the breakfast table on the other, represent for most of us the sum total of personal acquaintance in this class of animals. It is therefore necessary at the outset to explain the sense in which we are here employing the two words which constitute the title of this little volume.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from More Hunting Wasps The Pompilus has done no digging. It is really an accidental hole with spacious winding passages, the result of the mason's negligence and not of the Wasp's industry. The closing of the cavity is quite as rough and summary. A few crumbs. Of mortar, heaped up before the doorway, form a bar ricade rather than a door. A mighty hunter makes a poor architect. The Tarantula's murderess does not know how to dig a cell for her larva; she does not know how to fill up the entrance by sweeping dust into it. The first hole encountered at the foot of a wall contents her, provided that it be roomy enough; a little heap of rubbish will do for a door. Nothing could be more expeditious.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Instincts and Habits of the Solitary Wasps S the tendency of mankind to crowd into towns grows stronger the joys of country life and the workings of Nature are more and more excluded from the daily experience of humanity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The University of Kansas Science Bulletin, Vol. 49: Taxonomic and Biological Studies of Neotropical Fig Wasps (Hymenoptera: Agaonidae) The University of Kansas Science Bulletin (continuation of the Kansas University Quarterly) is an outlet for scholarly scientific investigations carried out at the University of Kansas or by University faculty and students. Since its inception, volumes of the Bulletin have been variously issued as single bound volumes, as two or three multi-paper parts or as series of individual papers. In each case, issuance is at irregular intervals, with each volume approximately 1000 pages in length. The supply of all volumes of the Kansas University Quarterly is now exhausted. However, most volumes of the University of Kansas Science Bulletin are still available and are offered, in exchange for similar publications, to learned societies, colleges and universities and other institutions, or may be purchased at$15.00 per volume. Where some of these volumes were issued in parts, individual parts are priced at the rate of 11/2 cents per page. Current policy, initiated with volume 46, is to issue individual papers as published. Such separata may likewise be purchased individually at the rate of 11/2 cents per page. Subscriptions for forthcoming volumes may be entered at the rate of $15.00 per volume. All commununications regarding exchanges, sales and subscriptions should be addressed to the Exchange Librarian, University of Kansas Libraries, Lawrence, Kansas 66044.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Synopsis of American Wasps, Vol. 14: Solitary Wasps The book has been in the press several years, in consequence of the great loss of time caused by the transmission of the proofs from Europe to America, and vice versa. In consequence of this long period Of waiting, I have been obliged to make a review of the manuscript in reference to the writings of various entomologists, especially those of Mr. Cresson, which have been published from year to year, and have changed the names of the species which I had described and have adopted the names given by this author. I have not been able, however, to take account of the more recent writings of Mr. Cresson, on the Hymenoptera of Texas, which only came to my knowledge when the printing of this book was almost finished.

Download or read book Wasps and How They Live Or British Social Wasps and the Habitations They Construct written by Edward Connold and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-03-29 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wasps, and How They Live, or British Social Wasps and the Habitations They Construct: A Paper Read Before the Members of the Hastings and St. Leonards Natural History Society, in the Museum, on April 19th, 1894 N order to be strictly correct, the title of this subject should read British Social \vasps, and the Habitations they Construct. The reasons for this are threefold. The term Wasps is too broad for a short paper, as it embraces not only the wasps which are indigenous to our islands, but those to be found in other parts of the world (and there are a few in the tropics whose intimate acquaintance we should [not care for). TO mark. The distinction we term those who favour us with their society British; the others are termed Foreign and Exotic. The order of vespm is divided into two divisions or groups, one called solitary, the other social. By solitary is meant that each insect lives by itself, making one cell only and not sharing it with another of its own order. In the social group (which we shall treat of in this paper) it is, quite the opposite, for they live together in large numbers. Hence the necessity for distinction to be made between solitary wasps and social wasps. All future remarks will therefore apply to the latter class and not the former. The third reason for a change of title is that to attempt to describe how wasps live would open up too wide a field of study and discussion for the present purpose, embracing the whole of their social economy, which includes facts as well as theories, extending far beyond the confines of a paper; therefore I purpose inviting your attention to the exterior of the habitations they construct rather than to the interior. Possibly no other insect in our country is the cause of so much dread as a Wasp; there is an instinct within us after we have passed the age of Childhood's innocence which upon its approach acquaints us instantly with the Objectionable qualities it possesses, and we are bent upon its destruction at the first opportunity, or of getting out of its way as soon as possible. When they settle on the fruit Or hover over the flowers in the garden, or having found their way into the house, alight on the sugar, jam, fruit, or even the meat and other articles of food on our meal table, the desire within us is for their annihilation, and even those not considered the boldest and the bravest will essay to kill. But the battle with a wasp is not always attended with victory on our side. They are quick, very quick, and carry small but very powerful and pungent weapons, the which, when we have failed on our part, but they have been successful in approaching us too closely, leave us worse for the fight. It is doubtful if one wasp in a thousand will sting unless it is driven to it - unless it is frightened or hurt, or disturbed in its plunder, and the chances are that the person who has courage enough to keep quiet when wasps are about, and allow them to settle where they please, or fly around them at their own sweet will, may escape the piercing sting.
