It’s wasp season again!!!

Have you been sharing your picnic with a wasp or two? 🐝
We’re collecting sightings; tell us what your wasp was after:
Ham or jam? Or something else entirely?
Drop your observations below and help us learn what’s tempting them this summer!

Perks of exploratory fieldwork ! 📍Dzükou Valley, Nagaland, India

This one was to collect Apis laboriosa (himalayan giant honeybee). Read the story about it here: roundglasssustain.com/species/hima...

A secluded meeting space deep in the forests of Nagaland within the Pulie Badze Wildlife Sanctuary.

I was so so excited to come across this while heading back after a collection trip back in 2021, although it was during an unplanned detour !
