Last photos for now: A peaceful European paper wasp (Polistes dominula) collecting food (or drinking water?) from the flowers of some grass.

As I shared a recent photo of the paper #wasp and the #wasphouse on Mastodon, thought I’d share my stitched Byte videos of them here. #paperwasps #pollinators #communityGarden

👆 I just want more people to know #paperWasps are a great #pollinators in the garden. They’re docile, or timid, and never bother you while #gardening. They’re more slender than yellow jackets and nests in eves and crevices, making the honeycomb hive.

Excellent guide to flying yellow stripey things.
Can confirm everything said about Paper Wasps ☹️ - also stings may/ can reactivate old stings by some ants. Best to stay right away if you see them or their nests. 😐

Paper Wasp nest I recently spotted after the foliage died down. Suspect it may have been Baldfaced Hornets. Never noticed it last summer even though I walked by within 20 feet a zillion times...

#PaperWasps #Wasps Why the heck do wasps build right above my door? OK, I get the protected overhang thing. But right at the very crack of my back door opening? Sadly I will have to spray this one. I do not want to be terrified every time I step out to the patio. Sorry wasps, bad choice. 😢😢The others I will leave alone, although they make me uncomfortable. 🥴

Watching our first significant rain chance in months passing to the west, as usual.

Please no, I didn't order the usual!

Can’t sleep, listening to music, riding out some new covid flare that basically makes everything more painful, too loud, and too bright (turning off some lights and down some music right now omg), and I apologize for sending out another post so soon, but I just want to share something about living in Austin that has been driving me CRAZY for decades

slow moving disaster

"nothing so far has eased my uncertainty:
paper wasp pool parties, this infernal summer, the follow-up appointment, and a bunch of things I partially read about long covid"

I wrote this last week, and didn't post. There are links and descriptions of long covid articles I'm probably still reading after a short post about wasps, frustration, healing, and uncertainty.
