Henri Teixeira de Mattos, Alexander 1865 1921 Mattos, Alexander Teixeira de De Mattos, Alexander Teixeira Mattos, Alexander Teixera de Mattos, Alexander Teixeria de Mattos, Alexander Louis Teixeira de More Hunting Wasps Produced by Sue Asscher, and David Widger "More Hunting Wasps" by Jean-Henri Fabre is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work is part of a series of essays on wasps, offering a detailed examination of their behaviors, particularly focusing on the hunting wasps and the intricate relationships they form with their prey, particularly spiders and beetle larvae. The text explores the hunting techniques of various wasps, particularly the Pompilus and the Scoliae, providing insights into their life cycles and feeding habits. At the start of the book, Fabre delves into the behaviors of the Pompilus, a type of spider-hunting wasp, emphasizing the challenges these insects face when capturing powerful spiders like the Black-bellied Tarantula. He recounts his observations of a particular Pompilus as she hunts, successfully overcoming the spider's defenses through craft and speed rather than brute strength. Fabre details the delicate balance of power between the predator and prey, introducing various strategies the wasp employs to capture its quarry, laying the groundwork for understanding the complexities of wasp predation. As the chapter progresses, Fabre raises questions about the evolutionary adaptations of both the wasps and their prey, setting the stage for deeper explorations of insect behavior throughout the rest of the volume.
