So I'm in the yarden, and I see these beautiful caterpillars on my kowhai. "Kowhai moths?!?" I wonder. So iNaturalist.org to the rescue! Kowhai moths indeed. They can stay. Check out that webbing. So cool. Moths&ButterfliesNZT Entomological Society of New Zealand Zoology_Otago Otago Entomology Society 🦋

Yesterday at 2pm the first honeybee (Apis mellifera) in this species’ evolutionary history managed to pull a string for reward. They are much harder to train than bumblebees, though!

Wasp farms were but a dream for me, until today! Spent the day with #wasp #farmer Takahashi in Gifu province, #Japan. We chased wasps back to their nests, & admired his Vespiary of Vespula shidai. #SpellBound #SoMuchToLearn Thank you Tatsuya.S & Haruna Fujioka 藤岡春菜 🥰 #wasplove

What’s top of any waspologist’s bucket list? Hunting and collecting a #Vespa mandarinia nest! Magnificent apex predators and not as scary as expected! Thankyou Tatsuya.S and your awesome Japanese Wasp Keepers Association friends for an unforgettable day. #WaspLove
