Oreo Vs. Wasp

“To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee”

Nice. I had a wasp do that before. it is funny watching them trying to get out
 
lol, por wasp. :p
 
Very cool. Now just wait a few weeks until he dries out. It's going to look seriously creepy.

Actually, I just happened to stumble upon an old picture of exactly that-

Doesn't it just scream "Give me a hug!" :p

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?

i hate when this happens! it ruins a good pitcher IMO.
 
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 :p
 
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.
 
Thanks,

I thought the quote was appropriate

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

They're girls. Wasps are more highly evolved than humans and the guys let the girls do all the work.

Nice shot!

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.

Seems like the wasp and Sarracenia have a takeaway from this. I wonder if the sibling wasps will eat the rest of it just for spite.

lol, at first I thought this was referring to the oreo cookie.
