Arrant Nonsense

The Hubby sprayed it good with carbuerator cleaner and killed most of what lived in it that was scary, so we knocked it down and then dissected it. Man, those things are uber-cool. They've got pupae in various stages of development, and it's really interesting to see them that way. I'd love to know just what they make the paper out of, because there were bright pink and green streaks in it as well as the browns, grays, and whites you'd expect to see.

Da Boy was fascinated, and hopefully we've instilled a little scientific interest in him by showing him that.

We just found a ginormous wasps' nest right over our front door. They must have been working on the thing all summer. It's over six inches across and we never noticed it until today. Hubby's working on killing them (boy am I glad I'm married at times like this!).

Of course, I took a picture. What do you take me for?
