eWasp spring queens are emerging out of hibernation, they are looking for carbohydrates and a suitable nesting site to establish their nest for the upcoming wasp season. One queen can produce an estimated 6,000 wasps. For reporting & advice, contact the eWasp Team. #Europeanwasps

I work with #tasmaniandevils who sometimes leave meat scraps behind after dinner, which attracts #europeanwasps. Twice this week I've seen a #wasp attack, kill and eat a #blowfly. This baffled me considering there was plenty of other free food available!? 🐝🪰 #InvasiveSpecies

Anyone else in the #AdelaideHills have an unwelcome overabundance of #Europeanwasps this year? ? @toddthepainter

Thankfully these #EuropeanWasps are confined to our copy of 'Fabre's Book of Insects' (1937), locked away in our #RareBooks room. What creepy crawlies do you have to release for #ScienceWeek @museumsvictoria @Library_Vic @NGVMelbourne, @ZoosVictoria & @ACMI? 🐝🐞#ScienceWeek2021

Being surrounded by swarms of #EuropeanWasps is unnerving, but not once have I been stung. I can't say the same for any Aussie blowflies trying to approach the carcasses we were monitoring. The efficiency at which wasps took down these flies was unbelievable! #ProjectOzScav

Keeping with my theme of #EuropeanWasps today, watch this video to see what a swarm of wasps on a carcass looks like. Now imagine trying to collect samples around and under a carcass that looks like that... Fieldwork fun times. #ProjectOzScav @NewsomeTM
