Reminds me of the old Jimmy Buffett song about a “strange bird from a different nest.”. Granted, this isn’t a bird, but it’s close enough for the lyrics to apply.
Unfortunately, Scifi, its nest was not at our place but, rather, at our neighbor widow lady’s house. I, daily, take her mail and newspaper to her, from her rural mailbox, as she can’t walk well. The nest was at a corner of her big garage door, right near the code box to enter #s into to open the door. The mother wasp never tried to sting me and was very docile. I respected them. I figured that one of her children (now adults), when visiting, would destroy the nest. Sure enough, it happened. I feel very sorry for the wasps. One of our birdhouses, way by the river in our yard, currently has wasps in it. At least they will be safe! These are beautiful animals if looked at with a real intelligence. š
That is a pity. All creatures deserve to live on Earth and most do so without upsetting the balance (except us!). The animals just need to learn to stay away from us too.
Ah, my hand was right next to them day after day and they respected me and i respected them. š People are far more dangerous! Read what was written to Scifi.
at least someone loves him haha
Yes! Not very many do, unfortunately! š
I guess Iām one of them šš¬š½
But I love him on the picture :))
Interested to see the shape of nest so clearly, great shot
They sure do a wonderful geometric design! š
Yes, amazing really, nature is so complex

Not familiar with that song — i was more into Rush and Yes and such — but it sure is a different kind of bird! š
They are lucky to find a safe haven at your place. š

It’s a shame people are that way. Humanity needs to change.
Nice capture Tom!

Tom, I must admit that I much prefer looking at a photo of this than a real-life encounter!

My husband is highly allergic to their sting, so we won’t be joining
their fan club. Glad you are a supporter, Tom!
Well, that’s a horse of a different color! I understand. š Read what was written to Scifi.
Interesting how symmetrical the nest is almost as though the wasp had a blueprint to follow. Great picture
Truly amazing, isn’t it? Perfect geometrical design! Read what was written to Scifi.
Woow so beautiful Tom, great picture! š
Sacred geometry! š
Thank you, Marcela! š Yes, perfect design!
I’m one of the rare few as well who love to watch them do their thing. ā¤ļø
Good! They are far less dangerous than humans! š
These nests are real pieces of art, Thomas. Have a nice day, regards Mitza
An artist such as yourself would notice such a thing while others wouldn’t as much. š Please read what was written to Scifi.
