F*ck wasps!

And yes, I don't mean White Angelo Saxton Protestants.

So throughout the day today, Because it is spring, I couldn't decide to keep my front door open, or let the AC/HEAT do it's thing. So several times today, I open my front door and there is a wasp who managed to creep in between my screen door and solid bolt door. I opened the screen door and it left. A few hours later, same thing. A wasp ended up between my screen door and my solid bolt door. Again, I am thinking how is it getting in here? This went on all day. But finally I looked up at the molding at the top of the frame between the two. A wasp, or wasps were looking to make a home between those two doors. 

I do admit, there is somewhat of a gap at the top of the screen door. But I still don't understand why it, or a scout would chose such a spot. 

Today I found the centimeter makings of the beginnings of a nest at the top of the frame between the doors. It was microscopic, but all I thought was, "Damn these bastards are determined."

But that is nothing compared to when I had the last house, that I replaced this one I am talking about in this story.

Years ago, just after I bought the new one, but before the old one was torn down,  I decided to clean up the yard which had tons of branches and overgrowth before they tore it down. Anywho, after removing dead branches in the yard, I decided to mow it. But, little did I know, yellowjackets had made nests. The vibrations of my riding mower agitated a nest. Next thing I know, I am every cartoon character in every cartoon where the "SWHOOSH" is implied. I didn't even turn the key to stop my riding mower. All I heard was a sudden buzz, and felt like I was in Pearl Harbor running way from Zeros.  Those fuckers chased me all the way to the back door on the other side of my house. I got stung several times. 

But, just today, it wasn't anything close. I just found it funny that this wasp, or wasps wanted to make a home between my doors.

Birds eat wasps. Natural selection has favoured wasps who build nests in places less accessible to birds. The gap between your doors is attractive to them for that reason.

Thanks for the update. Any life is going to look for where it think it has shelter. That really wasn't the point of this post. I was being silly. I was basically poking fun at life. 

And the yellowjackets attacked me too. Why? Certainly it was because I was an ABBA fan and not the fact that I disturbed their nest.

You really need to stop taking everything I say so literally.

NO KIDING! My pointing out their pick of home was sarcasm.
