The thoughts of lower life forms?
I was working on my pole barn yesterday and while attempting to place some roof sheathing up on the roof I disturbed a small nest of paper wasps. I waited for them to settle down then sprayed down the nest with Brake Cleaner (Won’t actually kill the adults but stuns them for a few minutes)…
Anyway after about 20 minutes I climbed back up the ladder, and watching for wasps with both hands full of materials… a single wasp flew over and placed a dead wasp pupa on the ladder rung right in front of my face, then she flew off.
In your estimation, was this wasp thinking I would:
A) bring it back to life?
B) eat it for a snack?
C) jump off the ladder and run?
D) not use chemicals that might harm wasp babies next time?
It may have been the Queen. It was slightly larger than the others. Also If the dead pupa was simply in the way, why was it not simply dropped to the barn floor?
Hi Hermes,
What a very interesting read! Very visual! And an interesting witness you’ve played. If this were a dream, I would tell you the significance of the symbology used to explain the "story"; however, were it not for the sake of your coherent sight, it could easily be dismissed by you. Thus, no need to say.
Like a firefighter stumbling out of a home engulfed in flames and emerging from great smoke, his fellows run to carry his burden. -Is he still alive? Baring the weight of his comrade’s shoulders, legs in tow from exhaustion; he exhales with a violent cough. He is lain at the closest place to regain fresh air and others to come his aid.
What a sight to witness!
Seems it is not always about us.

E. The Dead Pupa got in the Wasps way. Wasps essentially have a hive mind and are not capable of very complex thought. The only wasp that has any sense Of "thought" or individuality would be the queen.

You are anthropomorphizing the wasp. It does not think like a human being. It was probably none of the above… certainly not A or D.

Insects have especially simple thoughts, she was not concerned about what you would do.

Edit: Wow, you people are way too serious for a Saturday. Did you leave your funnybone in bed?

None of the above. Wasps are not that smart and they most likely don’t think.

I can’t remember ever being a wasp, so I’m not sure what they’re capable of….
