A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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 atS t. 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.
