| Summary | "WASPS, SOCIAL AND SOLITARY" by George W. Peckham and Elizabeth G. Peckham is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work explores the fascinating world of wasps, both social and solitary, detailing their behaviors, nesting habits, and relationships within their environments. It presents observations and analyses that are likely to engage both entomologists and amateur naturalists who have an interest in insect behavior and ecology. The opening of the book invites readers into the meticulous study of wasps, highlighting the authors' personal experiences and discoveries during their observations. It begins with an introduction by naturalist John Burroughs, who praises the work for its charm and depth of research. The authors recount their initial encounters with yellow-jackets and the delight in studying wasp colonies and solitary species. They detail the behaviors of these insects, such as their foraging patterns and nest-building techniques, while emphasizing their individuality and intelligence. The narrative sets a tone of patient observation, as the Peckhams seek to reveal the nuances of wasp life, from communal living to the solitary endeavors of various species.
