  6. #WildBees and #pollinators need our help. You can help some of them with bee hotels. They also need food, pollen and nectar. So use less #lawnmower, and let #wildflowers bloom in your yard and garden! #bees #bumblebees #wasps #wildlife #backyard #beehotels

  15. Humble beginnings #yellowjacket #queen #wasps #nuisance #egg #bike #scotland #aberdeenshire I had to remove this as it would have caused a lot of bother later in the year, hopefully She finds a more suitable spot for her brood.

  16. but then me and the little bugger decided to cooperate to make the world a better place .
    She kindly moved to my hand, obviously because she knew I just rescued her from being caught inside behind a glass pane

  17. Some alysiine braconids have been lekking in the back garden. These are parasites of flies, and given how many I'm seeing, I suspect they've been feeding on maggots in my compost.#Hymenoptera #Braconidae #Wasps #Insects

  18. Ichneumon Wasp (family Ichneumonidae), they're parasitoids...females use their long ovipositors to lay eggs on or inside other insects—usually caterpillars or beetle larvae. When the wasp larvae hatch, they consume the host. #wasps #insects #nature #ecology #photo

  19. Good morning. ☕☕☕

    15 April 2026

    My wife planted these Barbados lilies in two large pots outside our back door nearly twenty years ago, and they still come back every spring. It must be the perfect spot — just the right balance of sun and shade — because they return like clockwork.

    Thinking about the lilies reminded me of the year a colony of yellow jackets decided to build a nest in one of those same pots. I’m usually a live‑and‑let‑live kind of guy when it comes to wildlife, but that was too close for comfort. They had to go — evicted without prejudice.

    That brought back another backyard memory from the day I was pressure‑washing the fence. A mud dauber had built a nest on one of the boards, and when I blasted the water across it, the wasp took offense. It came straight at me and stung me on my right ear. After that, we had ourselves a little battle, and the wasp didn’t stand a chance against high‑pressure water. My ear, however, paid the price — swollen and oversized for days.

    How would I describe the pain of a mud dauber sting? Sharp and hot, like a quick jab of electricity. It doesn’t last long, but the swelling certainly does.

    I still have the pressure washer, but these days I hire someone else to handle the job. No more backyard duels for me.

    That said, when I was doing the pressure‑washing myself, half the job was dragging the machine from one section of fence to the next. One guy I hired showed up with a washer and several lengths of hose hooked together. Genius. And for me, a big duh — why hadn’t I thought of that.

  20. Last photos for now: A peaceful European paper wasp (Polistes dominula) collecting food (or drinking water?) from the flowers of some grass.

  21. Here’s the video: the moving of a paperWasp hive (in 2017 before I thought of the #waspHouse ). They thrived that summer. 🐝✨
