Wasps of the World: A Guide to Every Family
A richly illustrated guide to wasps around the world
Wasps have been around since before the dinosaurs and are one of the world’s largest insect groups. More than 150,000 species have been identified, and while the black-and-yellow insect with a cinched waist may be the most familiar, most wasps are tiny parasitoids that use other insects for food. Wasps of the World provides a breathtaking look at the diverse characteristics, habitats, and lifestyles of these extraordinary insects.

I decided to read this & torture myself (I have a huge phobia of wasps) however I found this book interesting…like, wasps under water?! New fear unlocked. I’m convinced I need to move to Antartica.

A beautiful book with amazing photos and info about all wasp families. But if you are looking for very detailed information about a particular family this probably isn't the right book for you.
