| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the habitat and life cycle of Bembix, or sand wasps, which are "predators and parasites of various flies, including horse and deer flies." States that, among the colony, the wasps "doing most of the back and forth flights are the males trying to find receptive females for mating." Suggests that humans may not "get stung by these wasps, even if [they] are standing among their flying throng." |
