摘要
Male Polistes fuscatus fed malaxated prey to larvae, with feeding behaviors similar in major aspects to females feeding larvae. A single instance of larval feeding by a male P. metricus is also reported, and literature references to other observations of male social wasps feeding larvae are summarized. © 1979 Masson.
