Wasp nests

Yes, the color is like a color, gray, and the structure of the shell is not possible to make out in such a photo? Here is a similar nest: http://www.actbeekeepers.asn.au/informatio...ean_wasp/3a.jpg

Meanwhile, we've got cocoons in our nymph nests, and some of our gallicus nests are just about to open up.

It's just that I'm more familiar with mature germanic nests, where the shell consisted of wavy scales. And the underground ones also have external columns, like the spines of a horse chestnut.

The place is unusual, very open as for germanics, which is probably why the appearance of the nest is somewhat unusual. But, obviously, it is this beautiful dolichovespulopodobnaya form that is most natural, while the usual ugly one is caused by nesting in narrow cavities or in the ground.

It's getting weirder and weirder.. ) So think about what these scientists are doing, instead of climbing everywhere, and studying nests))) yes, an ordinary nest, such as I dug up from the ground, and the place is ordinary, and the nest is ordinary. And there are no "narrow cavities" in the ground, the uterus bases the nest in a sufficiently wide cavity so that it is exactly suspended, and takes exactly this shape in the form of an open sphere.

And real research needs to be done to find a way to plant 2-3 germanic queens on one base, this will be a bomb later, but there is no genetic engineering anywhere, you need to turn off any systems responsible for hostility among the queens, this will generally be cool - the sign will be fixed, well, for the first time you need to help, artificially inseminate with your males, so that the uterus does not interfere with other males and then, thanks to the advantage in numbers, everything should go by itself)

And why?

In the city, I climbed into the abandoned car, and here) last year's sorry only)

AVA, about the nests I can say this - similar nests Germanic, if it Germanic in the picture, in boxes and cavities open I saw, but so that it is outside the room-did not see, but the picture is not clear, maybe it's inside the room, just there are no windows and doors.. vulgaris nest, if it is vulgaris nest in the picture, I saw and dismantled it suspended from the corner of the wall, open to the street, of course, on a tree - I did not see it. But what does this have to do with a very ordinary nest(in shape)? Roman Rakochy, who is completely in the cavity? The place is certainly unusual, but not so completely, here is a picture of the nest near the bricks-this is yes, unusual. I found the germanic nest in a car tire and in a broken concrete pillar - there, I think, there will be more letok than in that hollow, if you want, you can take out the nest with your hand, if you haven't been bitten by wasps for a long time, but you want to ))

And what does this have to do with huge cavities? In order to hang the nest, the uterus needs 200 ml of volume or even less, this is a move to an abandoned gopher hole, or an expansion in mouse moves..

We have a small town, a province. The population is about 20,000. The city itself grew up because of the salt mining plants, but the ones that were excluded were long gone, and there are a lot of buildings, abandoned buildings, etc.in the areas of the plant. In the city center, everything is as usual, but on the outskirts, something similar to Chernobyl. So many places, putseyut, since the USSR vremen

In principle, it is) Consequences of the hand of power, the interests of the top of society. The main thing is not to turn into dissatisfied gray people who can be seen on the street today, discussing stale topics. We are looking for happiness by studying squinty yellowballs, and observing nature, remaining just people, no matter from where, from what country, Russia, America, Ukraine or Pakistan

This is an abandoned juvenile nest of Vespula vulgaris. I have them in the attic of my country house, too.

You surprise me. How can you confuse a vulgaris nest and a hornet's nest?

Well, maybe a hornet. There are no dimensional landmarks... And without them, they are similar.

but a wise people who bring to power such leaders who then will not interfere with anyone to do their favorite thing

Such as Puten, so that he doesn't drink, such as Puten, so that he enters everything.
Or-no, it is necessary to please the USSR in general, "return everything back", when for any parasitism in the form of searching for sedge bees they were fined and given 15 days
And with all this slavery, when it would seem that everyone and everyone works, there were such goods in difcit(tm), the difcit of which still needs to be created

  
In fact, in the USSR, they paid enough money for the "search for sedge bees" and even sent them to espeditions that were fully paid for by the state.

Oh damn Who's talking about what, and Ezox is talking about his dream-about full state support))

Have you stopped having this problem with the American beetle?

Sadly. Soon, one of the hottest topics of the Molbiol forum will have to be renamed "the most stale topic of our time". You don't notice how the hand of power makes us the twin in the picture. Go to any forum on the Internet. Any topic eventually comes down to one thing. Do not bother, because in the world everyone is poisoned by tap water, just like everyone gets a hand out of their pocket
Let's talk about biting hymenoptera better

http://vespidae2012.narod.ru/hornet_cycle2.html - what do you say?)))

I will say that today I went to check my hornets, I barely found one, I wasn't there for long, and I found the second one quickly, I sat there for 15 minutes and suddenly-SUCH a hum, IT flew in

So now I have a choice - to sacrifice, and probably say goodbye to the nymphs, or still grow nymphs Although, who knows, maybe not everything is as sad as we are here Ezoks broadcasts that they say hornets eat all polistov, maybe they won't touch )

And here is such a nest today found )

What can I say? An ordinary hornet's nest.

Dominul sockets in the junction box:




The two obviously belong to the same family and will eventually merge. The right one, by the way, is the confluence of two nests. It is probably one family subordinate to one alpha female, although judging by the presence of two larvae in some cells, it is likely that one of the subordinates is slowly disputing her status. In the same place, but slightly to the side, on the side wall, there is another nest with a single female who chose a single nesting strategy:



The price for complete freedom of reproduction is a strong lag in the size of the honeycomb and the number of brood from neighbors who founded the family in a collective way.

Unfortunately, I can only inspect and photograph this group of nests occasionally, surreptitiously, so that no one will notice - the place is very crowded, the school yard. I'm afraid someone tore out last year's perennial nest precisely because of my unintentional tip-off.

Nymph nests in the gully:




As is very often the case with this species, the wind and rain hitting the nest with neighboring plants, and maybe for some unknown reason, most of the cocoons are almost destroyed, the heads of the pupae peek out, here and there intercepted from above criss-cross strips of wasp paper. But, as a rule, this seemingly catastrophic phenomenon does not affect the development of the OS.

And in the nests of gallicus so far there are no pupae, at most-larvae of the 5th age.

Well, she's not a frequent visitor to almost everything. It is a pity that there are no males yet. I can't find it anywhere, not even in collections.
I would be very grateful if you could collect at least one and send it for a while (for photos)...

The second female omissa in 4 years of observation. If I meet a male, I'll catch you, but I think the chance of meeting you is 1 in 1000.

Today I witnessed the usurpation of a hornet's nest, and I watched everything from beginning to end. Description and photos on this page from June 5. Has anyone ever seen something like this?) - http://vespidae2012.narod.ru/hornet_cycle2.html

I agree, there is little chance of meeting a male. And it's still a little early. But by chance, you can come across a sylvestris nest captured by omissa. That's where you can find males, and not just one.

Yes, it happens. Although not often at crabro. But, for example, in the related species simillima, this is not something exceptional.
By the way, the owners of the nest, as a rule, have more chances to protect it.

We have Germanic workers now. I'd seen the first one yesterday, but only briefly, so I wasn't entirely sure it wasn't some kind of murmur. Today I looked at another article and no doubts were raised.

And tell me, fellow experts, how far do hornets fly from the nest? For example, if I see a hornet in the forest, is the nest somewhere nearby or not?

Personally, from my observations - if the females are not very far away usually, and it is quite realistic to track them. Workers forage at decent distances, but it is really difficult to track them down.

Today I tracked down a female hornet from an oak sapling, which led me to a burrow - http://vespidae2012.narod.ru/hornet_nest_in_hole.html

I also found a common wasp's nest, which I plan to move - http://vespidae2012.narod.ru/vulgaris_cycle1.html

I've never seen a hornet nest in the ground. Today, by the way, I also met the uterus - I tried the young growth of different bushes on the tooth.

The first "soft cocoons" of the parasitoid Latibulus argiolus appeared in the nests of Polistes nimpha.

I made a page like this. There will be more births in the future. - http://vespidae2012.narod.ru/determinant.html

the first fighter of the year. in the remaining nests cocoons are still

+ find this: in the ventilation unit the following: A female hornet settled in last year's nest (climbs inside the old nest). It is not yet clear how she placed the mother's honeycomb, or puts eggs in last year's cells. In addition, the dominulus immediately founded a nest.

PPC polistam!
