@dwillobeck good of you to leave it alone! Ive seen a bald-faced wasp here in my flowerbed, but never seen a nest. Ominous, you say?! ๐๐
Iโve come to love bumblebees and paperWasps after reading up on them. I used to have a bumblebee queen with broken wing in my care for a few months. #BumbleBeeatrice Right now, I have a guest paperWasp who canโt fly well in the terrarium Iโve made for her. #PeppaThePaperwasp
@spiegelmama Thank you. I believe the default instinct of every creature is to survive. This paperWasp has done well to get on my sock. lol
Selfishly, Iโm curious to know how long sheโd live in comfy captivity. Once, I took in a bumblebee queen with a broken wing (#BumbleBeeatrice ), and she lived in the terrarium for a few month.
When Beeatrice met Tillian. ๐๐๐๐โจ
The accidental clone* of the mother-lemon-tree is wintering upstairs next to my beloved jasmines, in front of the sunny window.
*a long story short, I put the cut branch in the #BumbleBeeatriceโs terrarium, and it took root in fall 2018. It brings back some fond memories. ๐ฅฐ๐๐
@xoagray @PetrichorSquirrel so cute! ๐๐ฅฐ๐ซถ๐๐
Iโve had a rescued bumblebee queen live with me for a few months. She loved playing. She had a broken wing, so I let her run around on the chaise lounge and on me. She would take a nap in my hand every day. I loved her so much.
