" This is an interesting piece about wasps

it is indeed, thanks. i've often watched the wasps trying to gather nectar
like many other insects do - and have concluded that they're pretty useless
at it. no wonder they resort to predating on flies and so forth. in which
vein, their skill at killing is of a higher calibre altogether than their
efforts at vegetarianism ... many a time i've seen a wasp take a bluebottle
midair. quite a sight; can't be easy to time the attack correctly. course
it's all instinct i know - but i'm still impressed ;-)
