I've had this question for a long time. Somebody knocked a big Wasp nest down into the creek, and I wondered if the fish tore into it and ate whatever was inside.
So two days ago I was moving some stuff in my Barn and a Red Wasp stung me.
"OK for you Bubba, you and your whole Family is going bye bye"
Afterward I took his little cocoons apart to see what a Red Wasp looked like when he was still cooking.
Its a little white/yellow Grub worm.
Thick at the head and pointed at the tail. Taperd quickly after about half its length.
It's about 3/16" in Diameter up at the head end, but the head is smaller than the body.
The Body is about 7/16" to 1/2" long. The Body is pretty light colored down at the tapered tail, and darker white, almost yellow up nearer the head.
He has a small flat brown head. Its round and flat like a Flapjack.
Sort of a reddish brown.
So...by that descripton, do any of you ever tie or use anything like that?
Sorry for the lack of photo's. That's beyond my expertise.
An aside on this Stinging story:
While I was working down in the Barn, a Snake crawled right up on my bench, across all my parts and tools, and on down the planks.
He went right across a Red Wasp's nest. Those Wasps didn't seem to be upset by it.
They didnt even fly up and hover in a threatening manner like they do when I show up.
That Snake had a 'Neighborhood pass' I guess.
