Rare! The Ways of a Mud Dauber by George D. Shafer - 1949. From the Introduction: "...Every morning, in the early part of that new University year, this mud dauber was at the window enjoying the warmth of the sun, and I came to the window regularly to see her. I began to feel that this little insect was more than a mere automation. Somehow she showed more personality and confidence, and she inspired me to confidence in my own judgment...a mud dauber was helping to set me right with the world again.... It will be the purpose of the author in the following pages to take the reader along with him in his investigation as he discovers, explains, and relates all these things with regard to the life and the way of the mud dauber."Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
