Wonder why there is a picture of a Dutch shoe? Well, they find Steve’s shoe rather a nice location to build a nest. Thank you Steve for donating the nest. We will make sure you get the shoe back, so maybe next year a new nest emerge!

Huge thanks to @Cin_Oi for teaching me everything there is to know to work safely with wasps 😇 I haven’t got stung a single time!! And to @WaspWoman for convincing @UCLEast @UCLCBER and @ProfKateJones that the #PeopleNatureLab Garden would be a perfect home to welcome them!

Rewarded by beauty 😍🐝 It wasn’t easy to find a wasp nest this year due to the wet weather! But still, thanks to @bigwaspsurvey we got one! Today it’s the end of our study, and looking at this abandoned nest, it’s beautiful. Wasps are amazingly talented architects!
