Two more underneath that one. These fellas are workin better than the hornet trap and lemonade I have near them

I hate wasps - SD Kronos put this one to sleep for good, nighty night - ha!

One less hellspawn! Thats a big ol fly trap to be able to capture that

I'm hoping to put my sarracenias under a wasp nest when the pitchers mature. Then I'll sit back, watch, and relax.

There's a wasp nest in your backyard? Dangerous...

Oh wait, sorry, I meant yellow jackets. I do see wasps around here, but not as many as yellow jackets.

I thought yellow jackets had underground nests??

I must be getting them mixed up. Well, either one. Their nests are round, the size of tennis balls, with a hexagon pattern, and found in corners and cracks.

Thats really neat

Sounds like a paper wasp nest, they love my back porch for some reason. They keep making nests and I keep knocking them down

Not even open and already body bagged a wasp!

And of course, alabamensis is already up another on the count

Rarely see any wasps or their kin in my Sarr. Leah Wilkerson. My Neps on the other hand .... eat well during the summer outside.

I have thought about putting my neps on my back porch - I think they would eat like kings, but I gave all of the nepenthes that I would be willing to sacrifice away at a local plant exchange.

Seems like majority of what they are catching are wasps / hornets, but the wasps they catch are not ones that I see flying around. I generally see paper wasps all over, but none inside the sarracenia. I've seen two ladybugs get trapped so far, the first one I was able to help escape

Holy macaroni I think this might be better than a dead wasp… a roach!!! This is probably the only sarracenia I have that’s opening is big enough for one. The first time my wife has given me an F- in photography for content!
