I now have a milk frother and am discovering it works in other drinks as well. I used it on cold soya milk and yogurt and got a delightful shake which I was enjoying in the garden. A wasp came by to investigate. Next thing I knew he had dived in and was not looking happy. Quick thinking with a pencil got him out of the drink and onto the table. Then such a fascination to watch him. CPR was not required (one could gently prod a wasp's second section, I suppose) as he had kept his head above the liquid. He was simply very wet. The wings went into a whirl. He walked around a bit and sort of shook as a dog does when out of water. Then the wings got attention again. Now he (of course it could have been a she) started to scrape milkshake off the abdomen with legs and/or arms. (How does one decide on an insect which is which? Does it have two arms and four legs or vice versa?) I did not see the shake shaken off the arms/legs, you know what I mean, so maybe it got carried home as proof of the 'pudding' - "Martha I'm late because I fell into something and here it is...."
Or maybe it will be put on some nest shelf as a souvenir. I imagine wasps have many adventures. Think of the stories the ones who escape a dog's or cat's mouth have to tell. Or the ones I accidentally step upon but they are saved by my instep (and I have a story to tell if I am NOT wearing shoes at such times!)
