  Paper wasp, nice photo. These guys are honestly fairly chill as long as you’re not close to their nest (like inside 1m), and they’re important pollinators and great pest removal experts.

    Paper wasp

    Are these the big chunkas that grab on to the whole bodies of grasshoppers and pull them into their nests for the bebes?

      They’re not huge, under 2cm. They catch spiders and caterpillars according to wiki, I’ve mostly seen them with small caterpillars. And yep - back to their cool hexagon nests for the larvae and queen.

      Here’s a webpage with a close relative Aus wasp that makes the same kinds of nests, lots of good pics. www.brisbaneinsects.com/…/PaperWasps.htm

  Was this taken before, or after you died?

  • DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    He didn’t attack thankfully. Am still alive.

      True story, wasp attacks are insane. Not one of them, but the brutality of their union.
