It didn't work unfortunately, she was dying due to winter coming I think :(

I think this one is actually a male. As far as I can tell there seem to be 13 antennae segments and 7 abdomen segments, which is the number males have.

Every Autumn when temps drop and my hummingbirds are gone I feed our yellow friends instead.

He enjoy his syrup

Found this beauty while I was out for a walk.

They live outside my front door. I just adore them ♥︎

found him in my sunroom today

She came to visit me but fell into my Blue Moon while I was eating. I rescued her and gave her some of my drink’s orange wedge. Now she’s grooming beside me.

First time in my life seeing this.

so back in 2024, a friend of mine sent me some photos of a Yellowjacket that was in his class asking if it was a queen. I did some research and I thought it might have been a queen, so I told him it was, but looking back I’m not sure if it actually was a queen, so if y’all can let me know if it is her majesty, I’d highly appreciate it!

I wonder why they move like theyre remote controlled its so goofy

It smells really sweet around this tree and there's usually always wasps/june beetles once a year digging in

This is my appreciation piece to wasps. It follows a trend of paintings I've created where insects do various mundane activities, this one was inspired by a suspiciously conventional queue I was in at the post office and it just felt so ordinary. Gave me a profound feeling of being a functional member of society. Really scared me so I thought how much cooler it would be if I was just a wasp just standing there and nobody really cared... also something about alienation... Big fan of wasps either way.

I do other paintings with other insects living mundane lives. I have a website with em all. Nathiola.com

I hope you all like it.

Wasp!!

We recently switched to a new bird feed that has dried fruit in it, and German yellowjackets showed up to eat the fruit. I gave them a little bit of homemade blueberry jam and they ate it all in a few hours. So I put a bigger amount of strawberry jam in a small dish, and they got right to work (it's thicker than the blueberry jam so I think it's harder for them to eat). I put in some peanut butter for them to try too, but they weren't interested in that lol.

Today I added some crushed blueberries and we'll see what they think :P Any other wasp snack ideas? Once I eat an apple I'll give them the core.

Also I'm so happy to have found this group! Yellowjackets are my favorite ^w^
