Description

Wasp by Richard Jones is a fascinating exploration of these powerful arthropod carnivores. Despite their iconic form and distinctive colors, wasps have an undeserved reputation for aggressiveness, but entomologist Richard Jones sets the record straight in this enlightening guide. Jones delves into the complex nesting and colony behavior of wasps, as well as their fascinating caste system and major role at the center of many food webs. With up-to-date scientific concepts and striking color illustrations, he sheds light on why these insects are worthy of greater understanding and appreciation. By pushing past the sting, Jones reveals a more nuanced picture of wasps, one that is both entertaining and enlightening.
