Description
More Hunting Wasps is a book written by J. Henri Fabre, a renowned French naturalist and entomologist. The book is a continuation of Fabre's earlier work, The Hunting Wasps, and explores the fascinating world of wasps and their hunting behaviors. In this book, Fabre delves deeper into the lives and habits of various species of wasps, including the Cicada Killer, the Great Black Wasp, and the Sand Wasp. He describes in detail their hunting techniques, their prey, and their unique characteristics. Fabre's writing is both scientific and poetic, as he uses vivid descriptions and analogies to bring the world of wasps to life. He also includes his own observations and experiments, adding a personal touch to the book. Overall, More Hunting Wasps is a must-read for anyone interested in the natural world and the fascinating creatures that inhabit it. Fabre's passion for his subject matter is evident throughout the book, making it an engaging and informative read.The victim, a Beetle, is covered at all points with a suit of armour which the sting is unable to penetrate. The joints alone will allow the poisoned lancet to pass. Those of the legs do not in any way comply with the conditions imposed: the result of stinging them would be merely a partial disorder which far from subduing the insect, would render it more dangerous by irritating it yet further.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
