Abstract
OF late much has been written about the seasonal prevalence of wasps, and the mischief, in several places, wrought by them. May not, however, their use in keeping down many forms of insect pests be set off as some sort of palliative? Wasps are exterminators of aphides, and although the season has been favourable to insect-life, next to no damage has been done to the hop-bines or the corn or pulse crops of Worcestershire or Herefordshire by these latter pests—frequent destroyers of crops.
