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.
