More Hunting Wasps

"More Hunting Wasps" by Jean-Henri Fabre is a collection of observations regarding the behaviors of various hunting wasps. The book emphasizes their relationships with prey such as spiders and beetle larvae. Fabre recounts stories of the wasp's hunting techniques, specifically focusing on the Pompilus and Scoliae wasps, providing details on their life cycles and feeding habits. He shares observations of a Pompilus hunting a Black-bellied Tarantula spider, and he then describes how the wasp uses skill and speed to overcome the more powerful spider. The book sets the stage for further exploration of wasps and their hunting behaviors.
