I was thinking the same thing. It feels with its whip, locates the target, and then lunges with its cute little claws.

I will hear the sound of those wasps clicking against that camera for the rest of my life.

They seem a bit pissed off.

Why on earth did he go to all that trouble?
Oh, I see...

This is a video of me digging an invasive German wasp (Vespula germanica) nest for my research on biological control wasps at Landcare Research in NZ. I'm not removing the nest to kill it. I need to keep the nest alive for my survey for parasites (like mites, fungus, etc.). Some nests will be re-housed into nest boxes for use in behaviour assays.

I have many years of experience and use specialized equipment to do this and still get the odd sting, so please don't try to dig an active nest yourself! As you can see from the copious amount of venom on the camera lens, these wasps meant business.

Dreamed I had a whip spider as a pet last night.
I had it with me on a National Express coach, and was blowing on it gently to keep it warm.
It was out on the little fold down tray in front of me.

Huh.
I usually dream of mice - am I going up the food chain or down?

German wasps are "yellowjackets". I didn't know they had them in NZ. I hate those buggers as much as fire ants.

I want one too! Even if just in my dreams.

Still haven't watched the whip spider vid...and might not.

It's really more of a scorpion without a tail and with cute little freaky claws.

Gravdigr 02-25-2016 04:54 PM
Yeeeaaah, no.

Spider nest in a Kentucky home. They claim there are at least 3 similar nests in every home. I don't think I could sleep if I lived in Kentucky.
