T A B L E 1 Median proportion of E. daenerys catch that is female over collecting trips where at least four wasps were caught in the time period pooled over six flight seasons.

Days in season		5:30 AM – 9:00 AM	9:00 AM – 1:00 PM	1:00 PM – 5:00 PM	5:00 PM – 8:00 PM
Note: Number of independent collections per time period: Days 1–16: 2, 6, 5 and 8; Days 17–32: 8, 9, 4 and 13, respectively. Total number of wasps caught: 872. Where p <0.05 different subscript letters denote significant diferences between medians. ns denotes not significant.
