I spotted two native ladybugs on my lemon tree today! I hope they eat all the scale bugs on it!

Good news. A native lady bug is on my lemon tree—a scale bug buffet!

Peppa the paperWasp was doing this yesterday—blowing a droplet of apple juice right out of her mouth and sucking it back in—several times. It was fascinating to see. I assume it was enjoyable to her?

The paperWasps are doing well.

I wish I knew what was going on between the paperWasp and the hoverFly-like wasp. The paperWasp (on the right) seemed to be guarding the okra flower bud while the other wasp seemed to be bothering.

[edit: originally I assumed the other wasp to be a hoverFly.]

Spotted a paperWasp buzzing around my lemon tree. She landed on the milkweed to rest. I LOVE paperWasps. ❤️🐝✨

The #paperWasp queen was studying me while I took some photos this evening. I’m still thinking about making her own wasp house, like a small version of a birdhouse. I gotta do it soon though before her helpers emerge. 😉🫶🐝💕

A #paperWasp queen made a nest under the lid of the storage bench in my communityGarden plot. We’ll be gently opening and closing it from now on. They’re docile, and avid #pollinators, so I think we can share the storage bench. We’ll see…
🐝✨👀🙂
