A Study of the Prey, Enemies, and Habits of the Great-Golden Digger

Fernald (1907) states that the great-golden digger is found from South America to New England, and some parts of Canada, but until Frisch (1937) published his excellent paper only piecemeal accounts were written about its bionomics, prey, and parasites. On …
