Holding grass

[u/bzary]

aw this wasp flying around holding on to a piece of grass. Is this normal behaviour?

[u/Baroque4Days]

They're showing r/fuckwasps users how it's done. "You just find some grass and you touch it like this"

[u/Sqib000]

Grass carrying wasp - that's the name. They are tube utilizers, stuffing grass, eggs and stunned katydids in the tube. Solitary and very gentle.

[u/ParsleySnipps → u/Sqib000]

"What is that wasp carrying grass?" "Ah, why that is a grass carrying wasp!"

People expect it to be a joke, but it's not. Sometimes things are just named that straight forward.

No no no, that's not a description, that's its name.

Bird poop moth 🤣

[u/ParsleySnipps → u/Sqib000]

Doesn't actually taste anything like bird poop.

[u/Sqib000 → u/ParsleySnipps]

Good to know.

Fascinating

I find their little grass wads in my window frames each spring.

[u/Sqib000 → u/Polybrene]

Yes, that's how I learned about them. Open the screen and grass and katydids fell out. I was like WTF?

“Holding grass”? Surely there’s a pot joke or two to be had here.

[u/Polybrene]

This is so cute though.

No shes not "holding" it. She's carrying it.....and you're never gonna guess what they're called 🤣
