The Magic of Nature Henry R Hermann

Since his last field trip with his cousin David, where he saw a multitude of very interesting animals, Jason has become accustomed to experiencing dreams in which he is back in the field but with insects and other animals that are as big as he is. Strangely, he finds that the insects can also talk, and he learns an incredible amount of facts about their lives and relationships to other organisms in nature. In The Secret Lives of Paper Wasps, Jason excitedly relates to one of his latest and fondest dreams in which he converses at length with a paper wasp. Throughout the pages, he learns why such wasps are called paper wasps, how they are different from other wasps, how they establish and construct their nest, how they relate to other wasps on the nest, what they eat, how they defend their nest, and many other points of interest. Numerous photographs help a reader understand the new things that Jason learns. In addition, new terms are set in bold, and a lengthy glossary is provided at the end of the book to help the reader understand everything about the lives of these amazing insects.
