  • Paper wasps have the remarkable ability to choose if a larva grows up to be a worker or a ‘gyne’-a primary reproductive female. They do this by drumming on the walls of the cell where the larva is incubating.

    Ok but how does tapping the side of the cells make the larvae fatter?

    Can someone spell the word he uses for the foundress? It starts with a ‘g’. Like a good rap song

    Had I still been living in New England in MA, I would say that I would never visit New Zealand ever because of those. I've been living in the desert in AZ for a yr & a half. Bring it on! I've seen bigger & badder.

      They play an important part in our ecology, but I’m terrified of them.

    When I see wasps, I get a can of wasp killer and get rid of them immediately!

      They eat many garden pests like caterpillars so you are mostly hurting yourself and the environment.

      That people can believe that there is a god is unfathomable. How could there be a magic man in the sky? There is no such thing as magic and there is just space up there. It's all just stories made up by ignorant goat herders.

      If you want to call the aliens that created as a God's go for it. Religion is a illusion. There is no God.
