Abstract
THIS book may be described as a popularization anew of the writings of Fabre and the Peckhams on the habits of the solitary wasps, enlivened by a number of personal anecdotes not always about insects, the whole written in a vivid and racy style which makes for easy reading. The author's manner may be sufficiently illustrated by his description of the wasps' nest in winter. “The long low-ceilinged halls echo vacantly. The cradles in their thousands lie empty. Vermin creep in : the mouse, the earwig, and the beetle keep the courts where Vespa gloried and drank deep”.
