🐝⚔️ #UCL researchers studying #tropical paper #wasps in the #Caribbean found that removing a queen triggers violent fighting among females.
But, hidden helpers called “compensators” skip the power struggles entirely, instead gathering #food and caring for #larvae – saving the colony from collapse.

Northern paper wasp tending her nest. She just started building the nest this week so it's still quite small but she'll keep adding cells.

Egg of a redbud seed weevil (Gibbobruchus mimus) glued to the edge of a seedpod. I've been taking photographs just in case it's possible to see when they are parasitized by fairy wasps (Mymaridae). Likely futile. #bruchidae #beetle #insect #coleoptera #nature #macro #redbud #wasps #macrophotography

Here's a different male showing off his unfurled antennal setae, chemically tuned to pick up pheromones from females. #wasps #eurytoma #chalcidoidea #antennae

A lot of people in our neighborhood have either set up #PollinatorGardens, converted their yards from grass to natives or have scattered pollinator-attractants in their yards. Later in the season, when all of them are in full flower, our vegetable #gardens and ornamentals are usually swarming with all manner of native and domesticated pollinators.
We also have a few people keeping #honeybee hives in their yards, so, lots of honeybees visit our yard, too.
Overall, it's a really good, busy mix. Only down-side is that #wasps are part of that mix and my wife is deathly allergic to them. In addition to keeping her #EpiPens up-to-date, we had my mom knit us a couple fake hornet's nests for the front and back porches. They seem to do a decent job of encouraging the paper-wasps to nest elsewhere. The carpenter bees don't seem to pay them any mind, though. -
In recent days we've found three #wasps in the house trying to fly out our windows, two yellow jackets and one red paper wasp. I don't think there's a specific nest inside our house, I think there's a hole that large bugs are able to crawl through somewhere. It seems to be a new development, we haven't had this problem in previous years. The wasps were trying to leave through a different window every time.
Can anyone suggest strategies for finding the wasp entrance in the house?
