The European Wasp : A New Threat To W.A, Department Of Agriculture, Western Australia
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
The European wasp was detected in Western australia for the first time in January and February 1977 in the metropolitan suburbs of Mosman Park, Cottesloe and Attadale.
