The ultimate visual journey into the beautiful and complex world of
wasps Wasps are far more diverse than the familiar yellowjackets
and hornets that harass picnickers and build nests under the eaves
of our homes. These amazing, mostly solitary creatures thrive in
nearly every habitat on Earth, and their influence on our lives is
overwhelmingly beneficial. Wasps are agents of pest control in
agriculture and gardens. They are subjects of study in medicine,
engineering, and other important fields. Wasps pollinate flowers,
engage in symbiotic relationships with other organisms, and create
architectural masterpieces in the form of their nests. This richly
illustrated book introduces you to some of the most spectacular
members of the wasp realm, colorful in both appearance and
lifestyle. From minute fairyflies to gargantuan tarantula hawks,
wasps exploit almost every niche on the planet. So successful are
they at survival that other organisms emulate their appearance and
behavior. The sting is the least reason to respect wasps and, as
you will see, no reason to loathe them, either. Written by a
leading authority on these remarkable insects, Wasps reveals a
world of staggering variety and endless fascination. Packed with
more than 150 incredible color photos Includes a wealth of
eye-popping infographics Provides comprehensive treatments of most
wasp families Describes wasp species from all corners of the world
Covers wasp evolution, ecology, physiology, diversity, and behavior
Highlights the positive relationships wasps share with humans and
the environment
