A cell provisioned before my eyes on the 22nd of August, in one of the walls in the harmas, contained the finished cocoon a week later. Cf. "The Life of the Fly," by J.

I myself why conceal the fact? was not without a certain satisfaction as I piously carried that most delicate and precious apparatus, the historic five-franc graphometer.

Thus the Ammophilae hunt exclusively the larvae of the night-flying Moths. This taste is shared by the Eumenes, a very different genus. "The Mason-wasps" by J. Henri Fabre, translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos: chapter 1. Cf.
Not a single circumstance, however favourable, will ever persuade the Pelopaeus that young Crickets, for instance, are as good as Spiders and that her family would accept them gladly. Instinct binds her down to the national diet. Cf. "The Life of the Spider" by J. Henri Fabre translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos; chapters 9 to 14 and appendix.
Certainly, I have enough and even too much to do with my near neighbours, without leaving home to rove in distant lands. The Sacred Beetle and Others, by J. Henri Fabre, translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos: chaps i. to vi. The Life of the Grasshopper: chaps. xi. to xiii.
