Summary Introduction
To describe:
The system that the wasp used to find its nest.
Concept introduction:
Environmental features play an important role in determining and influencing the behavior of animals. For some animals the environmental features may serve as landmarks. These landmarks sometimes in some cases serve as a help for finding the way for their home which is exactly the same case as in case of female digger wasps.
