Publisher's Synopsis
This reproduction of the 1905 writing by George and Elizabeth Peckham on the natural history of wasps contains one of the essential writings in the fields of biology and entomology-and, of course, the first in the mysterious world of wasping and wasp-watching. Featuring beautiful illustrations by John Emerton, this book passionately describes the secret lives of wasps through patient, detailed observations and fascinating stories of these personable and eccentric insects.
