In the larder of the Yellow-winged Sphex, after the victualling is completed and the house shut up, two or three Crickets are sometimes found and sometimes four. "The Hunting Wasps": chapter 20; also "Bramble-bees and Others": chapter 9. "The Mason-wasps": chapter 1. "The Hunting Wasps": chapter 2. My notes abound in abstracts of this kind.
This, by the way, is the ordinary building-method adopted by the various Osmiæ, who content themselves with a chink between two stones, an empty Snail-shell, or the dry and hollow stem of some plant, wherein to build their stacks of cells, at small expense, by means of light partitions of mortar. Bramble-bees and Others: passim.
I shall return to the subject after discussing the Osmiae, who are very weighty witnesses in this grave affair. "Bramble-bees and Others": chapters 3 to 5. To meet among the Wasps, those eager lovers of flowers, a species that goes hunting more or less on its own account is certainly a notable event.
And we still have the two sexes that goes without saying and still identically the same species. "Bramble-bees and Others": chapter 10. "The Glow-worm and Other Beetles": chapter 6. Amply nourished this Meloe then acquires her normal size, the size in which she usually figures in the collections. A like prosperity awaits her when she usurps the provisions of Megachile sericans.
What does it want? I give it a Bee, a Halictus, to see if it will settle on the insect, as the Sitares and Oil-beetles would not fail to do. My offer is scorned. It is not a winged conveyance that my prisoners require. Bramble-bees and Others: chaps. xii. to xiv.

"Bramble-bees and Others" by J. Henri Fabre, translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos: chapters 12 to 14. Any adult Acridian approaching an inch in length suits the White-banded Sphex. The various tidae of the neighbourhood are admitted to the larder of Stizus ruficornis and of the Mantis-hunting Tachytes on the sole condition of being young and tender. "The Hunting Wasps": chapter 14.
I leave it to the future to display these dazzling proofs of my doctrine in their proper light. "The Hunting Wasps": chapters 13 and 18 to 20. My readers may differ in appraising the comparative value of the trifling discoveries which entomology owes to my labours. "The Life of the Fly": chapter 2. "Bramble-bees and Others": chapter 4. I agree with the philosopher.
"Bramble-bees and Others": chapter 8. The scanty fare makes a wretched dwarf of the offspring belonging to either sex, without depriving them of any of their racial features. We still see the Burnt Zonitis, with the distinctive sign of the species: the singed patch at the tip of the wing-cases. "The Glow-worm and Other Beetles": chapter 6.
