About the Book

Excerpt from Nouveau Dictionnaire d'Histoire Naturelle, Appliqu'e aux Arts, l'Agriculture, l'conomie Rurale Et Domestique, la M'decine, Etc, Vol. 14

Parmi elles on distingue la gu'pe frelon et la G - u'pe commune la premi're fait son nid l'abri des vents et des grandes pluies soit dans les greniers, soit dans les trous des vieux murs mais le plus souvent dans de gros troncs d'arbres dont l'int'rieur est pourri. L, ces insectes par viennent faire une grande cavit' e d'tachant des frag mens d'un bois pr't a tomber en po'ssi're. C'est au prin temps, que\les femelles apr's avoir pass' l'hiver engourdies, et ranim'es par la chaleur de l'atmosph're sortent de leur retraite_pour chercher un endroit convenable afin d'y 'tablir le gu'pier. Ce lieu trouv' elles y posent les premiers fonde mens de l''difice qui consistent en un pilier gros et solide, de m'me mati're que le reste du nid mais beaucoup plus dur et plus compacte. Cette mati're dont les gu'pes font usage est l''corce des menues branches de fr'ne qu'elles d'tachent 'par filamens_; ensuite elles la broient avec leurs mandfim1es pour en former une pte qui se durcit apr's qu'elle a-'t' mise en oeuvre; elles r'coltent en m'me temps une liqueur claire et 'sucr'e qui s''coule des endroits nou vellement rong's de la branche qu'elles ont d'pouill'e. Ce pilier est toujours plac' dans la partie la plus 'lev'e de la vote, et les gu'pes - fielom y'attaehent _une esp'ce de calotte de m'me mati're qui doit servir de toit l''difice et em p'_cher que les ordures guise d'tacheroient de la vote ne tombent sur les gteaux. En dedans de cette vote elles posent un deuxi'me pilier, qui n'est en quelque sorte que la continuation du premier; c'est celui qui doit servir de' base au premier gteau de cellules. Ces cellules sont hexagones et leur ouverture est tourn'e en bas. La m're en construit quelques - unes. Comme on ne trouve au printemps que des femelles il est probable qu'elles ont 't' f'cond'es avant l'hiver ce qu'il y a de certain c'est que ces femelles com mencent leur ponte d's qu'elles ont quelques cellules pour d'poser leurs oeufs. Ces oeufs ne tardent pas 'clore, et la m're nourrit de sa chasse les petites larves qui en sortent. Quar+d celles-ci ont pris tout leur accroissement, elles ta pissent de soie leur cellule et la bouchcnt d'un couvercle de pareille mati're. C'est sous cette enveloppe qu'elles su bissent leurs m'tamorphoses elles n'en sortent que quand elles sont devenues insectes parfaits. Ces gu'pes qui naissent les premi'res sont les ouvri'res; l'analogie porte croire qu'elles sont comme dans les abeilles, des femelles d'pour vues d'ovaires; ce sont elles qui doivent s'occuper, de la construction du gu'pi'er et de la nourriture des larves. La femelle continuant pondre, la famille augmente, et le logement devient tmp petit; alors les ouvri'res agrandissent l'enveloppe et le gteau et quand celui - ei est pouss' jus qu'au bord de cette enveloppe elles en recommencent un, autre sur-le-champ. Ce dernier est attach' au premier par un ou plusieurs piliers; bientt l'enve10ppe est achev'e et de nouveaux gteaux *la remplissent; alors il ne reste plus qu'une ouverture au nid. Cette ouverture correspond celle du trou qui est la porte par laquelle les gu'pes arrivent leur nid elle n'a souvent qu'un pouce de diam'tre.
