EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this snapshot captured by FLPA photographer Richard Becker, we witness a remarkable moment of nature's craftsmanship. Meet the talented Dolichovespula norwegica, commonly known as the Norwegian Wasp, showcasing its exceptional woodworking skills right at a garden gate in Powys, Wales. With summer temperatures soaring and the spirit of creation in full swing, this adult worker wasp has taken up an ambitious project - building its nest from scratch! But instead of relying on conventional materials like twigs or leaves, our industrious insect friend has opted for something truly unique: wood pulp collected straight from the garden gate! As it diligently gathers wooden material piece by piece, one can't help but admire its resourcefulness and attention to detail. This tiny arthropod showcases incredible precision while maneuvering through intricate patterns etched into the gate. It seems that even insects appreciate good design! This charming scene reminds us that creativity knows no bounds – not even for our buzzing friends. So next time you find yourself marveling at a beautifully crafted wooden structure or admiring your own DIY handiwork, remember to tip your imaginary hat to these unsung heroes of construction – the Norwegian Wasps!
