waspy musings [21 Aug 2009|05:54pm] Coo! The other day a small wasp misadventured its way into my living room. Not an issue these days with my phobia worn down to practical non-existence. The peculiar thing was that instead of dive-bombing into the glass that covers about a quarter of a fairly considerable wall, as most flying stuff tends to do, it was persistantly banging against an area of ceiling. I thought it was quite strange at the time, but couldn't think of a sensible reason for it doing this apart from the fact that it was a tiny, so assumably young wasp. But then this suggests all sorts of things like that wasps have intelligence and some kind of mental development. I've been musing over this on and off for the last week or so, and have just noticed that there is a wasps nest in the wall two floors up from my flat, directly above the area the wasp was determinedly bashing into! Wasps must have some mad 3D gps spacial awareness skillz! (Much preferable than fitting mental development, or that some wasps are just silly, into my mental definition of Wasp.) post comment
