Adult wasps love sweet sweet nectar, while their larva need MEAT! Happy pollinator week!

[IMAGE ID:

This image is a photo of a an illustration. The illustration is of a fake magazine cover, where a black wasp with yellow stripes and brown wings fills most of the image. The wasp is clinging to a wall with its back facing the viewer, but its body twists left and its head is turned so one spotted brown eye gazes at the viewer. Its two pairs of back legs are stretched out on either side of it to grip the wall, while it holds its front pair bent close to its body. One leg gently grips one of its antenna in a preening pose. The wasp's brown, semi-translucent wings are held a relaxed distance up over its back toward the top of the image.

The wall forming the background represents a paper wasp nest and is off-white with a streaky, fibrous texture.

In large text across the top of the image is the magazine's title in tall, thin, colorful letters, "THE WEEKLY BUZZ". A subheader beneath the wasp written in matching script reads, "ART & ARCHITECTURE", and a subtitle beneath in smaller black letters reads, "Hue Hive Workers Construct In Color".

In the bottom right corner is a barcode with a orange label on top reading, "July 25 2022 www.buzzweb.com". /end ID]

wouldn't it be cool if bugs made magazines? i was inspired by the super cool fake magazine covers people make of their characters sometimes (im looking at you, ratmags).

this was made for a set of art pieces with the theme: "how can bugs be depicted in a way in which people can sympathize with them without me having to alter their appearances/make them look 'cuter'?"

i focused a lot on posing, framing and settings to try to pull this off, which turned out to be pretty challenging! here, specifically, i chose to depict bugs in a media people are used to seeing humans in to make them more relateable.

other pieces in this collection coming soon

The dark paper wasp looking for good wood pulp to steal for her hive. Love these gals.

@en-shaedn submitted: Hi! This bugger stung me this evening (mid/late March) in central ohio, around [removed] (please remove city when publishing). My guess is dark paper wasp, but I don’t know much about wasps. Or bugs. 

After the sting, once it got off my hand (where I had accidentally smacked it where it was hanging out on the underside of my balcony railing, hence: sting), it remained on the chair where I took the photo, completely non-aggressive and non-reactive to my cat who walked by a few feet away and then to myself, who did the same.

The sting did burn and then ache, and it definitely injected some venom, but on a pain scale it’d be waaaay down on the low end.

I’m glad the sting wasn’t too bad! And also glad you recognize she stung for a reason and not just for the fun of it. She’s very cute and I hope she enjoys a delightful wasp life now that you’ve parted ways! Oh and yes, I agree, she looks like a dark paper wasp :)

I really love dark paper wasps. They're just so pretty. I hung out with this one for a while, while she harvested wood pulp for their hive.

@shadeswift99 submitted: Little guy spotted outside my apartment! It is early May in Southern Ontario, this fine friend was just chilling and not flying and doesn't look quite like a normal bee so I'm curious as to the identity of the gentlebug in question. Any ideas? Also, does it sting? Thank you!

Hm! Body shape and antennae say Vespidae and markings/coloration say dark paper wasp, but the abdomen shape throws me off. I've never seen one with that dip in the middle of the abdomen. I suppose this lady could just be strangely shaped?
