What reading level is More Hunting Wasps book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Asa beginner, I made some experiments under glass with the Great Cerceris(C. Tuberculata) and the Yellow-winged Sphex. Neither of them respondedto my desires. The refusal of each to attack respectively her Cleonus orher Cricket discouraged further progress in this direction. I was wrongto abandon my attempts so soon. Now, very long afterwards, the ideaoccurs to me to place under glass the Bee-eating Philanthus, whom Isometimes surprise in the open engaged in forcing a bee to disgorge herhoney. ...The captive massacres her bees in such a spirited fashion thatthe old hope revives stronger than ever. I contemplate reviewing all thewielders of the stiletto and forcing each to reveal her tactics.
I was obliged to abate these ambitions considerably. I had somesuccesses and many more failures. I will tell you of the former. Myinsect-cage is a spacious dome of wire-gauze resting on a bed of sand. Here I keep in reserve the captives of my hunting-expeditions. I feedthem on honey, placed in little drops on spikes of lavender, on headsof thistle, or field eryngo, or globe-thistle, according to the season.
