The Wasp Whisperer

The Wasp Whisperer

A fascinating insight into the work of Seirian Sumner. Her studies of the paper wasp Polistes canadensis & leaf-cutter ants in Panama have "illuminated a behavior that hadn’t been understood and opened a new realm of questions about the biology of social insects.”

A wasp whispered in my ear once. I do have big ears and didn't help with the kids teasing at school! Bad memories.

I used to be paranoid about my ears as a kid coz one stuck out a bit.I used to always lie on that side to help flatten it. Now my daughter has the same hang up though I never told her about it!
