Note {34} — Chapter XIII · : THE GARDEN SPIDERS: PAIRING AND HUNTING
Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
The Scolia is a Digger-wasp, like the Cerceris and the Sphex, and feeds her larvae on the grubs of the Cetonia, or Rose-chafer, and the Oryctes, or Rhinoceros Beetle. Cf. The Life and Love of the Insect, by J. Henri Fabre, translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos: chap. xi.—Translator’s Note.
