A wasp by any other name

Do you love talking about wasps? Here's how you pronounce the word 'hornet' in dozens of languages!

Pronunciations of wasp and hornet in various languages. Edwards 1980, Table 1.

Wondering how to say 'wasp' and 'hornet' in 32 languages? Well, me neither, really! But here it is. 

This table of information struck me as a bit of an unconventional choice for a book on social wasps, but it's interesting. 

It's easy to see the translation of Latin and Greek to the names of wasp genera, such as Sphex, Vespa, and Crabro.
