Coles The Wasp Code: Why They Sting, How They Live, and What Their Evolution Says About Ours at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

The Wasp Code takes readers beyond the sting and into the remarkable biology of one of nature's most misunderstood insect groups. With clear scientific insight and an accessible tone, Nora F. Mercer explains what makes a wasp a wasp, why some species sting, and how venom, sensory systems, and colony behavior shape their lives. From solitary hunters and parasitoids to social nest builders, wasps emerge here not as symbols of menace but as diverse, highly adapted animals with complex evolutionary histories. The book also shows how wasps connect to bees, ants, and the deep ancestry shared across life, revealing surprising links between insect evolution and our own place in the natural world. Readers will come away with a sharper understanding of wasp behavior, less fear, and a greater sense of awe for the hidden intelligence of insects.
