Description
Excerpt from The Life of the Spider, the Life of the Fly, the Mason-Bess: Bramble-Bess and Others, the Hunting Wasps, the Life of the Caterpillar, the Life of the Grasshopper, the Sacred Beetle and Other, the Mason-Wasps
E. Pomiformis is much more common and is comparatively indifferent to the nature Of the foundation on which she constructs her cell. She builds on walls, on isolated stones, on the inner wooden surface Of half-closed shutters; or else she adopts an aerial base, the slender twig of a shrub, the withered sprig of a plant Of some sort. Any form Of support serves her purpose. Nor does she trouble about Shelter. Less chilly than her African cousin, she does not shun the un protected spaces exposed to every wind that blows.
