Check out the cover on the latest issue of Journal of Economic Entomology! That's my wasp from our study on wasps as biocontrol agents, published in this issue! My first journal cover. I'm so happy. https://t.co/XeMCMTn3x4

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 @tatauya7696 & @HarunaFujioka đ„° #wasplove

Whatâs top of any waspologistâs bucket list? Hunting and collecting a #Vespa mandarinia nest! Magnificent apex predators and not as scary as expected! Thankyou @tatauya7696 and your awesome Japanese Wasp Keepers Association friends for an unforgettable day. #WaspLove

If you are in Dunedin and find wasps building nests under eaves of your building (they should be starting nests soon), contact us at wasp.nest@otago.ac.nz. I'm keen to start investigating what sort of pests we can train our introduced Polistes to eat! đ

Check out the article that @Amy_L_Toth and I wrote for @ConversationEDU about our recent pub (w/ Erin McCall) in J Econ Entomol. I'm hopeful to take advantage of the wasps already in the Pacific now! https://t.co/rEo4RSYW6P

Research shows wasps are active and useful predators of caterpillars on crop plants, but we need to know more about their full biocontrol potential.

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

So I'm in the yarden, and I see these beautiful caterpillars on my kowhai. "Kowhai moths?!?" I wonder. So https://t.co/0G5EGqn5cZ to the rescue! Kowhai moths indeed. They can stay. Check out that webbing. So cool. @MBNZTorg @NZEntoSoc @Zoology_Otago @OtagoEntoSoc
