Male Wasp

"In 1919, after a prolonged study, the Harvard ethologist William Morton Wheeler pronounced the male wasp "an ethological non-entity". An animal behaviorist had scrutinized the male wasp and found - no behavior. We can well imagine the male wasp's response to such verdict: his initial shock and hurt; his descent into a period of depressed introspection; his eventual decision to behave more intriguingly."

from: "The war against cliché'" (Martin Amis)
