re: #331 ObserverArt

I’ve posted I have an old house. I see every species of wasp and hornet around here. When working outside, I always have a can of wasp spray. I’ve gotten pretty good at knowing how to work around them.

One time, I spent a day working outside and watching a mud duaber flying down to a wet drainage ditch I had going and then flying up near me to dump the mud on his little nest hanging on the brick just under the overhanging eve.

I see tons of black wasps too. Hornets scare me, because they seem more angry.

Bugs can be a fascinating study as your doing manual labor sitting on some scaffold taking a break. So industrious and playing way over their size.

Wasps, hornets and bees are a nuisance. Termites, on the other hand, I utterly hate. Stealthy and ruinous.
