I heard “Smoke on the Water” today. I wondered if they ever found the the infamous “stupid”.  An online article said they identified the “stupid with a flare gun who burnt the place to the ground”.

July 19, 2022, Yesterday’s Nature Note

Well I hope this works. However it’s to a note and video on my Facebook memory from last year. Late summer insect chorus is ramping up.

Let me know if you can’t see it. WordPress won’t accept the copy and pasted text from Facebook.

Grass Carrying Wasps in my Yard

July 13, 2021 Nature Note: I have lots of cool and weird nature stuff going on at this new place. I have a bee house that had sticks or grass sticking out of several of the holes. I was puzzled. And then last week I just happened to be going through my Ohio DNR nature guides of Bees and Wasps when I found an entry of a critter called the Grass Carrying Wasp with a picture of exactly what I have in my beehouse. I never heard of or read anything in all the books I have read about a “grass carrying” wasp. Now if it would hang around long enough for me to see in person. Below are photos of their nests in my bee/wasp house.
