Zoomed in on a wasp from a distance and didn't realize until I downloaded it that it was holding a water drop. Turns out when you see wasps at bird baths or anywhere appearing to drink, sometimes they are gathering drops of water contained in bags of surface tension to carry them like balls to the hive for the larvae to drink.
I believe this is a variety of paper wasp. #nature #insects #wasp
Great black wasp?

Very excited and delighted for new paper by my #UoN colleague Tom Reader, exploring the mechanisms behind Batesian mimicry using 3D printed insects: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09216-3. There's a N&V, a podcast and a blog to accompany it!

Not the best photo, but it was jawdropping to see out of my window. A #wasp was *carrying* a cricket at least as big as it was.
I adore Fran Drescher.
"In Drescher’s view, her character upset the “the fearful post-World War II mentality that a good #Jew is an #assimilated one.” “My character does not try to #assimilate late to a #WASP #ethnic in appearance or speech,” she insists. “I speak #Yiddish and celebrate the #Jewish holidays” on the show."

There's no question about it: gardening is not for the faint of heart, nor the easily discouraged.
So is this creature the one that's been feasting on our baby dahlias? If so, what can I do?

Does anyone know of natural sprays or oils that would discourage wasps/hornets from building nests on my front porch? My landlord destroyed a couple of small nests yesterday but they are just back and building again.
We went for breakfast at the Kabin at Kinlet, Shropshire this morning. After we'd finished, this small bee (maybe a wasp/other) decided to attack a piece of bacon left over on a plate. It struggled for a while with the size of it, but just before I was going to video it, it pushed the bacon to the side of the plate... and flew off with it!
