I came in and after checking on my scorpions I looked in the KK with my exclamans in it. Nest was empty, queen was hanging out on a stick on the bottom and the worker was on the top of the cage. They havnt gotten on it all last night or today. My dad says they've been off for 3-4 days since I left. I know they arnt hunting because there are 3 crickets walking around on the bottom. ...

I decided to try an experiment with this P. fuscatus queen. normally, wasps would not go into straight hibernation untill like at least November. But i put this girl in the fridge early (about 2 weeks ago) and i plan on waking her early around mid Decemeber. normally wasps would have a much longer period of hibernation, around 4 months here in PA. also it would be much colder than in a fridge. so this is the ...

So next year I plan on doing everything possible to keep a colony for the whole year and attempt to over-winter them. This may require having to have an out door colony. But next year besides keeping exclamans and possibly metricus I plan on looking into other possible breeds (Fuscatus, possibly dominula if I can get one through the mail). Just thought i'd share my ideas and see if anyone would be able ...

It would never be enough and some times they wouldnt even acknowledge it was there. So finally my dad brought crickets home. I put 4 crix in there and that was the most violent wasp hunt I had ever seen. When they had caught them and brought them up to the nest the other wasps would try to steal the cricket from the other wasp and they ended up ripping it apart. Sorry for TMI but ...
