The Wasps of Zane Grey

WILD HORSE MESA

Cuckoo Wasps (aka Gold Wasps,
Ruby Wasps, & Jewel Wasps) are
parasites (have they 7 flowers?)
that lay their eggs in the nests
of other insects (they've, Cuckoo
Wasps, 7 flowers, would you believe
it's about the finish of the Process?
see the Crowned King when Flamel
had the stone for the Red).



RIDERS OF THE PURPLE SAGE

Gall Wasps paralyze plants, causing
the plants to form galls that feed
& shelter the wasps' larvae.

among the Pitjandjara such a transfer is made.

The first description of a gall wasp's life cycle
was published in 1675 by Pope Innocent XII
's personal doctor (Marcello Malpighi)



THE REDHEAD OUTFIT AND OTHER STORIES

The White-faced Hornet is
(attention! implicated again --)
about 1.2 inches long
& is black w/ white markings
on most of its segments
& on its face. its grey nest is oft
suspended from a tree limb

attention White-faced Hornet Implicated Again,
underlying planets are making themselves known
and making known injury rubric + mending alignment =
nest preserved in part & tree limb preserved entire




THIRTY THOUSAND ON THE HOOF

Paper Wasps eat nectar & kill caterpillars
to feed the larvae. plant & wood fibers are
collected & chewed into papier-maché to make
nests under dense vegetation or eaves of buildings

the sound of their assembling is the hooves
of fauns that rattle in a drained fountain



RAIDERS OF SPANISH PEAKS

Organ Pipe Wasps make mud nests, resembling
organ pipes. potters follow them to rich clay
deposits. were you to break up their nests,
you'd find plenty of spiders incapacitated to
this world, they don't live for air anymore
