  1. I think my home has become #hummingbird central. I have five 8-oz hummingbird feeders and I keep them full all the time in the summer. I'm currently going through 2 quarts of sugar water a week. Birds are buzzing around from first light until last night.

    Sadly, I'm also #yellowjacket and #hornet central. I just set up another three wasp traps and all three of them were catching #wasps within 20 minutes. I also just sprayed a few hornet nests. So I'll stay inside for a while.😬

  6. OK, for those of you interested in a homemade #yellowjacket #trap that seems to work outrageously well, it's pretty easy. Mix some apple cider vinegar, water, and sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Add a few drops of dish soap. Cut two holes about the size of a finger joint about halfway up a plastic soda or water bottle. Put a spoonful of wet cat food or dog food into the bottle. Add the liquid mix. Put the cap on. Put the bottle where there are yellow jackets. (1/3)

  11. 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. CW: Close-up photos of a yellow jacket

    This appears to be a queen V. squamosa. I have no idea how she got on my windshield wiper, what she’s doing there now, or why she didn’t leave sometime during my five mile drive across town with a stop to get gas along the way. She just sat there wiggling about the whole time. #Insect #Entomology #YellowJacket

  19. I’m not a sportsball person. But I am a #georgiatech #yellowjacket. Any day where GT football wins is a good day.
    Any day where GT wins and U(sic)GA looses, is a great day.
    Today was a good day, and it was *almost* a great day.
    Good job today, #Jackets. Better luck next time, #UGA.

  21. Yellowjackets eating a spotted lantern fly. It was dead before they got to it. Filmed 9/5/2025 Bethel Connecticut - yes, you may absolutely download & repost this elsewhere!
    (this was one I smashed & they came in to scavenge)

  22. Seem to have trained yellowjackets that spotted lantern flies are food!

    neighbor K & I have been smashing lantern flies on the tree of heaven at next door gas station whenever we're on break. which has attracted yellow jackets to scavenge the corpses. It took them a few days to recognize them as edible, but now there's loads of them scavenging in area.

    This morning saw one going after a live one! Did a bunch of exploratory bites but gave up in favor of joining other yellowjackets in pulling apart dead ones.

    No issues with the yellowjackets bothering me or K while we're hunting lantern flies. They're just waiting for us to drop 'em and then swoop in. So just like other scavengers, just on a vastly different size scale than say ravens and wolves. We're kaiju sized to the yellowjackets.

  23. Small pleasures

    Inspired by the vlog I shared earlier, posted by @ewen I went into the parched garden and took a photo of something that I have enjoyed watching lately. I provide water for birds and insects, butterflies and bees and foxes (and raccoons and coyotes and deer) so it's a joy to watch the obvious appreciation, even on the smallest scale.
