plasterer bee

The plasterer bees, as we have seen, line the interior walls of their subterranean chambers with a waterproof wallpaper; others achieve a similar result by impregnating the cell walls with a glandular secretion or coating them with a waxy material.

1974, Karl von Frisch, Otto von Frisch, Animal Architecture, page 68:

Plasterer bees build mud nests in the mouldings, butterflies brush the scenery with brilliant colour — lemon-yellow brimstones, dappled whites, large tortoiseshells and swallowtails are all there for the spotting.

1989, Pamela Westland, Exploring Rural Greece, page 27:

Like masked bees, plasterer bees (Colletinae) line their rows of cells with a mixture of saliva and glandular secretion that hardens into a cellophane-like membrane.[…]Each female plasterer bee fashions roughly ten brood cells separated by plaster-like walls and leaves a honey-pollen clump and one egg in every cell (see the bottom of Figure 5.1).

2002, Karl Weiss, The Little Book of Bees, page 48:

Any bee of the subfamily Colletinae, solitary bees that secrete a substance from their mouthparts to give a cellophane-like lining to their nests.

¶ There is another type of ant called tlilazcatl or tzicatl: they breed in cold lands and are rather small, they are black and they bite, and their eggs are white, in certain parts they are eaten, and for this reason are called azca molli.

emerald cockroach wasp

en-noun

emerald cockroach wasp (plural emerald cockroach wasps)

[…]we have available at the moment an effective cockroach control program which does not require the use of a gram of chemicals. This is simply the encouragement in our homes of the emerald cockroach wasp, the ensign cockroach wasp and the wolf spider.

1971, Agricultural Science Review, page 35:

One interesting example of this is the emerald cockroach wasp Ampulex compressa which uses cockroaches as hosts for its developing offspring.

2009, David Penney, Field Guide to Wildlife of the Gambia, page 90:

The emerald cockroach wasp is one of nature's most incredible insects. The female does not kill the prey when it injects it with venom. Instead, the wasp turns the prey into a live food source for its growing young.

2011, Jay Dale, Deadly and Incredible Animals: Top Ten Minibeasts, page 11:

sphecoid

From translingual Sphecidae (“taxonomic family of wasps”), from Ancient Greek σφήξ (sphḗx, “wasp”).

uder

On morphological grounds they fall closest to the sphecoid wasps, although the lack of an adequate fossil record has made it impossible to pinpoint the exact ancestral phyletic line. In a word, the Apoidea can be loosely characterized as sphecoid wasps that have specialized on collecting pollen instead of insect prey as larval food.

1975, Edward O. Wilson, Sociobiology: The New Synthesis, published 2000, page 428:

The literature pertaining to sphecoid wasps in Quebec may be divided into four broad categories: species surveys, biological studies, taxonomic studies and reference works.

1982, Albert T. Finnamore, The Sphecoidea of Southern Quebec (Hymenoptera), page 3:

Bees are similar to one group of wasps, the sphecoid wasps, but are quite unlike other Aculeata.

2000, Charles Duncan Michener, The Bees of the World, volume 1, page 2:

Of or pertaining to wasps formerly classified in the superfamily Sphecoidea (corresponding to all wasps in Apoidea), now sometimes treated as the series Spheciformes.

bee mother

bee mothers (plural)
bee-mother (alternative)
beemother (alternative)

From bee + mother, possibly as a calque of Old English bēomōdor (“queen bee”).

calque

[…] but how much more so when it must be acknowledged, that it is all owing to one female, and that this queen-bee, or bee-mother, alone, has given origin to such an immense progeny?

The youngest of the sisters—the one at the bottom—is only a tiny egg, which the bee-mother has laid in the cell.

1900, Allen Walton Gould, Mother Nature's Children, page 156:

The bee family is divided into three sections, the "queens," or bee-mothers, the drones, or male bees, and the workers. The duty of the "queen," or bee-mother, is to keep the hive well supplied with workers.

1903, Lilla Elizabeth Kelley, Three Hundred Things a Bright Girl Can Do, page 577:

Astonishingly, bee mothers can decide whether the egg they lay will develop into a male or female.

2019, Alison Benjamin, Brian McCallum, The Good Bee:

Imagine a monogamous bee mother and her supersister daughters (figure 6.2) who are preferentially helping their mother rear more supersisters (rₕₑₗₚ = 0.75): […]

2024, Keith S. Delaplane, Honey Bee Social Evolution:

March is the time of Wihlaxs, Black Bear's Walking Moon. Nox Ap, the bee mother, awakens from her winter slumber along the realm of Xsan, the River of Mists. Nox Ap seems to appear from the great beyond as the bumblebee queen crawls out of her warm hiding space.

tramp ant

From tramp (“ship without a fixed schedule”) + ant, because they are often inadvertently carried on ships.

2004, S. Bradleigh Vinson, Sean T, O'Keefe, Gordon W. Frankie, Chapter 6: The Conservation Values of Bees and Ants in the Costa Rican Dry Forest, G. W. Frankie, Alfonso Mata, S. Bradleigh Vinson (editors), Biodiversity Conservation in Costa Rica, page 67,
The occurrence of highly invasive (tramp) ants (Passera 1994) is of concern, and Saks and Carroll (1980) showed that tramp ants could become abundant in disturbed areas while remaining uncommon in nearby undisturbed forests. Exotic tramp ant species have been found to produce major changes in abundance and diversity of invertebrate species in other regions (Lubin 1984; Zenner-Polania 1994).

Of the nearly 2000 known ant species in the country, almost 50 species are classified as tramp ants (Bueno and Campos-Farinha, 1999).

2011, Ana Eugênia de Carvalho Campos, “2: Emerging Urban Pests and Vector-borne Diseases in Brazil”, in Partho Dhang, editor, Urban Pest Management: An Environmental Perspective, page 21:

black canker

black canker (countable and uncountable, plural black cankers)

Among the numerous enemies to which turnips are liable, none have proved more fatal here than the black canker (a species of caterpillar) which in some years have been so numerous as to cut off the farmer's hopes in a few days.

1783, William Marshall, Account of the black canker caterpillar, which destroys the turnips in Norfolk, Royal Society, page 1:

In some seasons these pests are exceedingly numerous, and in the Eastern Counties the “Black Canker,” as it is called, lays waste entire fields of turnips.

1869, author unknown, Hardwick's Science Gossip, page 232:

The larva of the turnip sawfly (Athalia rosae), an agricultural pest having the appearance of a black caterpillar.

rose slugs (plural)
roseslug (alternative)

A stated meeting was held this day. T. Lee, Esq., proposed to the Society the importance of awarding a small premium for the purpose of inducing cultivators to discover some effectual method of destroying the rose slug, which infests the rose bush.

1840, The Magazine of Horticulture, Botany, and All Useful Discoveries and Improvements in Rural Affairs, page 274:

The rose slug or sawfly is neither a slug nor a fly; actually, it is an insect related to bees and wasps.

2013, Loren Nancarrow, Dead Snails Leave No Trails: Natural Pest Control for Home and Garden:

Rose slugs are the larvae of sawflies, non-stinging members of the wasp family. Three species are rose pests: the rose slug (Endelomyia aethiops), the bristly rose slug (Cladius difformis), and the curled rose sawfly (Aallantus cinctus).

2015, Peter Kukielski, Roses Without Chemicals: 150 Disease-Free Varieties That Will Change the Way You Grow Roses:
