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.
