Haha, some years that's what half or more of my upright pitchers look like. Somehow they don't seem to do it in the purpurea hybrids - maybe they use the opposite wall of the pitcher for leverage?

Yikes. i always make sure my wasps are dead before i hand feed them so this doesn't happen but if the wasp is alive and buzzing in the pitcher, i just throw water in that pitcher so it drowns
I'm in a forum where people say "nice", "haha", "very cool", "lol", "nice" and "funny" about an animal's ill-fated struggle for life. Yikes. But all humanity is not lost; one did add "poor wasp". An excellent photo and great quote, by the way, although it might be more appropriate for an S. leucophylla.
psssssssssst, the wasp lived and oddly enough once he got out, so did his brother who was underneath him.... although his bro seemed a bit more dazed and confused

Sadly, a wasp bit a huge hole in one of my larger oreo pitchers some weeks ago... It was pretty bad and I ended up having to cut it off as it bent all the way down when the winds kicked up. Now, I monitor the pitchers and fill the ones that have live wasps with water to drown them.
