Solitary Wasps: Behavior and Natural History (Cornell Series in Arthropod Biology)

By Kevin M. O'Neill
Comstock Publishing, 2000

Contains information concerning the behavior of a variety of solitary wasps (e.g. sphecid, pompilid, and vespid wasps). This is not, however, an identification guide and this book does not treat what are considered parasitic wasps (e.g. chalcid and ichneumon wasps). Includes a number of summarizing tables as well as case studies of particular species.

Insects of Algonquin Provincial Park

By Steve Marshall
Friends of Algonquin Park, 1997

This book is very cheap and useful for anybody living near to Algonquin Provincial Park. Although it is a short book its 8X11 size makes it difficult to take out into the field.

Steve Marshall nine year later hugely expanded the book to create his "Insects: Their Natural History And Diversity: With a Photographic Guide to Insects of Eastern North America"
