Just a little pop of yellow hanging out on the window. I captured this image from my Nothing Phone 2(a).

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

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!

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.

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.

When picnicking or having a snack while hiking, here's a handy tip for keeping wasps at bay! (Observe what she is drawn to, then make a #wasp 'offering'!!!)

The simple trick that stops hungry #wasps from ruining your picnic

by Seirian Sumner, August 8, 2025

"Long summer days call for picnics – but wasps often make an uninvited appearance. One quick trick can stop them from ruining an al fresco get-together.

"It's summer in the northern hemisphere and that means Sun, sea – and wasps.
A lot of us have been taught to fear wasps as aggressive insects that exist only to make our lives a misery. But with unsustainable wildlife loss across the planet, we need to learn to live alongside all organisms – even wasps. They are important #pollinators and predators of insects.

"A little knowledge about their natural history can help you dine safely alongside wasps.

"The wasps that usually visit your picnic are typically the common #yellowjacket (Vespula vulgaris) and the #GermanWasp (Vespula germanica). They seem to appear from nowhere. What should you do?"

Second yellow-jacket sting in as many weeks, I'm thinking of buying a gallon jug of StingEze. #yellowjacket #summer #goodmorning
