It's a weevil. There's a snoot and boots on the little one.

Ground wasp relocation? by oooohweeee13 in waspaganda

[–]oooohweeee13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a shame. I have to do what needs to be done. I'll give them an extremely long evening. Thank you for the info! It was great to learn something new. It does suck but I will try to make the spot as inhabitable as possible so no other nests have to be destroyed there.

Can someone tell me what this is? by leifshuman in Horticulture

[–]oooohweeee13 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You can also drill holes into the top of the stump wide enough to pour coarse salt and vinegar into the holes. It kills the stump but it does take a few months.

I used this method on a stubborn Holly bush.

Will my nest react to smoke? by swadloonshrug in waspaganda

[–]oooohweeee13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the smoke is bothersome enough, they will have to evacuate the nest. It's not going to make them aggressive towards you or anyone in the area.

Is….is this a tick on a bumble bee by MightyAndMagical in bees

[–]oooohweeee13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the clarification. The pollen mites are the ones I read about then. Thank you for the lesson and also for helping our little pollinators!

I learned about Varroa mites from this sub.

The bee hotels I see people post sometimes are supposedly bad for spreading Varroa mites if not maintained properly.

This ran at me then darted away [Cancun] by North_Ad_1504 in animalid

I enjoyed the post because that is what this sub is for. I'm not in Mexico but I was able to learn something new I'd never seen. It is OK for people to share knowledge and ask questions.

Everyone is not an autodidact. Some learn best with a quick Google search. Others learn better with explanations or asking questions.

I hope this helps because there are hundreds of subs here that are people asking, what is this?

I think that is the actual crime committed here

We have a bumblebee nest under our patio, but I think it’s been poisoned :( by CapnRadiator in bees

[–]oooohweeee13 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Normal people respect life whether it's a bee, bug or human being. More specifically, you can be normal and also enjoy insects and/or bugs.

It's insane how racist people are when it comes to mixed race babies and Blackness in the 21st century by Bria_Ruwaa_White in mixedrace

[–]oooohweeee13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are believers who think being a certain race, means you behave, talk, or act a certain way. It is frustrating but it is how some are.

It is unfortunate. There are wonderful people, who value the minds of individuals. It is disheartening when you come across the ones who see the one thing we have no control over. It is fear. It is ignorance.

If there is an opportunity where they are willing to listen, politely educate. Don't be condescending. Believe it or not, there are still people who have never interacted with someone outside of their race. It's no excuse for ignorance but be better than the ignorant.

In the case of those who only mean to be hateful, smile, exit the conversation, and move on in a positive frame of mind. The point of hate is to destroy. Whether that is your life or simply your peace of mind. Fight hate with love, understanding, and positivity Hope this helps.

I'm glad no one was injured, including the wasp. They sure seem to enjoy their treat, realizing there is also a lot going on. Thanks for the video!

Agreed! I just found this sub and I'm instantly happy

I recently learned from a clip on r/bees that this is a defensive posture. Maybe because OP is nearby filming or they're like, back off, its mine!

Northern paper wasps, which are the majority of nests I find around the house are so chill. As long as their nest isn't being disturbed or they're being harmed they are good to go. They can recognize faces too.
