Old Hornet Nests Acting as Hibernacula for Insects

Abstract

Old hornet nests serve as hibernacula for other insects. A total of 27 species in 6 insect orders were found to be in hibernation in 15 old aerial nests of Vespa simillima xanthoptera and V. analis insularis. Temperature in an old nest in winter fluctuated less largely than ambient temperature.
