Not a lot is known about wasps’ eyesight, other than they can see for long distances, but they do get fooled by other things, for example, the ability of orchids to appear and smell like a female wasp which elicits copulating behaviour by the male wasp and thereby the pollination of the orchid.
Too much information perhaps, but nature uses mimicry to induce behaviour in wildlife, and Waspinator uses it to get rid of wasps. Waspinator works like a scarecrow for wasps, it is a wasp repellent, not a wasp trap.

Looks like the weather pattern might start giving us rain and cooler temps.once i got my to do list done for the day I spent a hour outside cutting spent flowers..as soon as it cools down I am going to dig and throw away a lot of the plants, far too dense, makes it worse with this humidity it’s like a jungle.

Dianne I got my hydro bill but didn’t open it up, guess I should .. I pay mine in 12 equal payments and then final reading.did Zeke get into mischief? Glad the Vet gave you an in-house discount.

Sharon, here in winter we have the off blizzard that might keep us in for a day or so but. nothing like you have, weather from hell and now monsoon weather?? Worrisome I am sure.

Lindakay, let us know when you make it to your sister’s.

I had chicken Alfredo and it was horrible, bagged it for trash, maybe it was because I knew what desert would be 😜

Ziggy is beside me sound asleep, think I’ll head to bed to get comfy, won’t sleep but can go through pattern designs for my quilt throw on i pad..am sure. Ziggy will follow.
