This is an apt post about a fascinating wasp newly discovered; and your notes, accompanying video, and illustrations are helpful. Your haiku, of course, is flawless.
Gee, if we imagine Mr. O and the leaders of European nations to be wasps, their respective countries to be spiders, and the larvae to be the military-age majority of Syrian "refugees" allowed in....

Yeah. It would be hard to hold a pen or type in that condition....
Comment from Dorothy Farrell
Hi Dean - a real creepy haiku. Plenty of alliteration and a picture that made me cringe LOL. Anything like that REALLY gets to me, ugh! Written with your usual flair. Interesting story about this new wasp. Sounds like a good mother LOL. There's a lot in nature that sounds cruel (look at the human race) but it's all about survival isn't it? Well done. This book could go on forever when you think of the number of insect species on earth - and that's only the ones we know about. Regards Dorothy x

Dean, now that's one horrific wasp. But not alone in the young feeding off live food. The organisation seems to be more developed to any I have heard. Burying ants to use the formic acid in their bodies as a type of defence is just plain horror.
Well written and presented in good detail.

Comment from BOO ghost
Wicked wasp. Now that is a fine example of an alliteration. Words go together like ham & cheese. You really did your research here. Educational read. Who said insects were dumb? We could learn by observing the insects. Just because they are small don;t mean they are not smart. The dinosaurs were huge but had a small brain and we are small in comparison. She then proceeds to capture spiders and places them in each cell for her future young to eat. She chews of the legs of her arachnid victims so they can't crawl away. Essentially, the spiders are devoured alive, having no legs with which to escape their grisly fate. Now that is a bad wasp! Wonder if the wasp stings the spider first? Spiders have fangs. Video helps. Words are artful. Very unique blend. This is not a simple ordinary haiku about insects. Your research shows here and your time is exhibited here in may art forms and vivid imagination. You reap what you sow. BOO

Wow Dean this is a very interesting and educational post. Thankyou for sharing Mother nature is an amazing animal. I suppose there are still many species still not discovered yet in the world. Thanks for sharing this one in the form of a haiku

Comment from Susan Chetcuti
Well thought up Dean. I can certainly relate to this piece after getting attacked by an angry wasp last weekend while swimming at a friends pool. Thank God no bites though. Another great piece.

Comment from Sis Cat
Wow, what a creature and a haiku with alliteration on all three lines. The wasp is wicked and deadly. Its method of feeding its young are phenomenal and clever. Your author's notes are informative, too. I did find one SPAG: "She chews of(f) the legs of her . . ."
Thank you for sharing.

Comment from lyenochka
Well, I hope the wasps stay away! It is amazing that they keep discovering new species all the time. Humorous turn about the "feng shui" in the wasp's decoration skill.

Good morning, Dean.
I hope you're enjoying the spring-like weather.
This is another great haiku and although wasps give me the heebie-jeebies they are preferred over snakes. Still suffering from that one.
An enjoyable read my friend.
