I watched facinated as this Blue Mud Dauber wasp struggled to carry this green orthoptera to a gap in a tubular metal outdoor table leg - a substitute hollow in which to stuff it's prey. Instead of eating the prey, the wap was likely going to lay eggs inside it as a captive, living nursery/creche. Cool, eh?

Fun fact - the nests, which are constructed from chewed up bark, and leaves, mixed with mud, are waterproof.

That's right. Bugs invented paper, cardboard and waterproofing way before us.

Found in forests, woodland, and scrub jungles, but also in the parks and gardens of urban Mumbai, their large pagoda style nests are not only hard to miss, but also earn them the 'pagoda' moniker.

Today, on cool critters which share our planet, but which we seldom notice, let's meet the Pagoda ant (Crematogaster sp.).

These tree-dwelling ants are amongst those bugs which have pioneered the making of cardboard (much like the 'paper' wasps which build papery nests from chewed-up plant fiber).

#Introduction

Hello #BiologyMastodon We are the British Society for Developmental Biology.

We are here to immerse ourselves in the #DevBio Mastodon universe and to keep you informed about the meetings we organise, the grants we give out and all the other good things that we do.

#Introduction

Hello #BiologyMastodon

I'm a prof of stem cell and developmental biology in Edinburgh. I'm here to hear about your interesting research

Just read this article about orcas. The males are evidently gigantic "Mamas boys," and their large size actually makes this necessary.

With all this California rain, hopefully this will be a good spring for #herping.
