A wasp nest from last year!
The irony about these topics, is I got a bee/wasp/hornet sting on Wednesday. I guess it was good timing for this post! ;~)
Anyways, a few interesting facts! :~)
- A bee is not a wasp, a wasp is not always a hornet, but hornets are wasps. (A tongue twister indeed!)
- Bees are hairier and rounder than wasps, which tend to be slimmer and smoother.
- Wasps and hornets tend to make nests while bees usually live in trees, man-made hives, or underground (depending on the type.)
- Inchworms have 2 defense systems to prevent from them being eaten. One is blending in with the tree, and if that doesn't work, they can repel from the tree out of reach. When the danger has passed, they climb back up to where they were before.
- They are the caterpillars of the Geometer Moths.
- Inchworms don't have the same number of legs as the average caterpillar.
