In upstate New York, on eight acres called Wasp Farm, Howard Evans spent hundreds of hours observing a remarkable group of insects - their life cycles, their behavior, their infinite resourcefulness in the business of survival. From his detailed observations emerges a rich study in comparative behavior and a stricking picture of a fascinating part of the insect world.
