Review (by Malcolm Storey) | Over 32,000 specimens of Hymenoptera collected in suction traps mounted on a TV-tower in mixed coniferous woodland in western Sweden. Over 40% of the flying Parasitica were found at 9m of above indicating that many Parasitica regularly engage in long-distance flights high in the air. |
