Introduce your self here

Sorry guys i've forgot about the forum. Seems dead

It's beyond dead, LOL it's buried

Hi all,

My fascination with pet wasps started last mid year when i stumble across the youtube vids of people hand taming wasps and keep them as pets. I am not much of a bug man but i was totally blown away and enticed by the idea of it .

since then i tried to find more info, forums and social groups and i am glad that i finally found one (this one haha)..I already read up on some caresheets and i must say this is exactly what i am looking for

Anyways i am new to this whole thing but i really wanna get into it...It currently the heart of winter in australia so cant do much but i ll do my research and reading now so i ll be ready when spring hits

I kept a yellow jacket for a while just before winter hit this year in a KK, it didnt nest and only about 1.2-5 long so i presume was a worker....it died after 2 weeks from the day caught him at my work place... anyway i learnt a lot from that experience and collected a few vids which i might upload to youtube to share with you guys now that i found this group

anyways i can imagine this is going to be awesome post more soon

Halloe, I am new here. I have liked wasps for a long time, but now I am taking a step further and actually trying to keep them. My favorite kind of wasps are the Polistes, and my favorite Polistes is exclamans, Durr. I live in southern Texas and really the only wasps I see are all polistine, and they are all either exclamans, metricus, and annularis. Not even any yellowjackets.... just polistes..... wows..... k.  Also, if you manage to see this post, EVER, I would like to inform you that I need help keeping the polistes wasps, go to the wasps section for keeping social wasps, you will probably see mine at the bottom. Reply there. The wasp I am having trouble keeping is P. exclamans. Thank you.  

Hello, Kjkh here. I actually joined a while back but was unable to post due to a problem with the cookie settings on my browser

Anyway, I have been fascinated by wasps and bees ever since I was 6, when I got stung by a bumblebee . Since then I have observed wasps studiously and even caught a few and added them to my collection. Only recently have I decided to try and actually keep social wasps, after watching some youtube videos. Im still kind of new to keeping wasps so I hope to learn a lot here   

Wow, this forum is still up? I wish we had vulgaris posting on here, he was the guy who got me into wasps!
