This wasp can’t swallow the piece of chicken it’s cutting. That’s the downside of having a "wasp waist." But the larvae back in its nest can, and they secrete a liquid mush that the adults can drink. Alicante, Spain. Early September.iPhone 15 Pro main camera + lens for close focusing.Esta avispa no puede tragar el trozo de pollo que está cortando. Es el problema de tener una “cintura de avispa”. Pero las larvas de su nido si que pueden, y excretan una papilla líquida que si que pueden ingerir los adultos.Diese Wespe kann das Stück Hähnchen, das sie zerschneidet, nicht runterschlucken. Tja, das ist der Nachteil, wenn man eine "Wespentaille" hat. Aber die Larven in ihrem Nest können das schon, und die scheiden einen flüssigen Brei aus, den die erwachsenen Wespen problemlos schlürfen können.#macro #macrolens #macrophotography#insects #animals #nature#shotonmobile #shotoniphone#wasp

Pretty sure that 99% of the world’s current problems come from us overestimating how smart algorithms actually are.Today, Google’s top prediction as I began to type, “Do insects and arachnids share a common ancestor” is: “Do insects and arachnids share a Coke.”#algorithm #google #entomology #insects #arachnids #search

@lionelb My connections to nature started in my early childhood in the 1960s but I didn't have the time with university and then the job for researching more. I got back (including my podcast) when I was fre enough to change the topics of my job.Volunteering in a nature park in France, I see a lot of very young school children who educate their parents! We use modern methods like ID-apps when going into nature with them. They see other species than we saw in our childhood but they are so aware
