Abstract
In Bembix rostrata homing times were recorded after releases from E(as t)-sites (unknown) and from S(outh)-sites (familiar). Displacement was with (''open'') or without sight (''box'') of surroundings and sky. A t E-releases the ''open'' wasps were faster than the ''box'' wasps. Th e S experiments, however, resulted in longer homing times for the ''op en'' wasps. The results are discussed with respect to recent hypothese s of path integration and landmark orientation.
