I hope these pics illustrate polistine wasp temperment, she flew on my hand to say hi and then flew about the room, after she was tired she flew back to me so she could go back in the cage LOL

nice...but please make the pics smaller...kinda hard to look at.
i've never thought of wasps as pets but they are starting to get interesting.



......it takes 2 seconds to re-size a pic in mspaint
-open paint
-open file(picture) in paint
-click image on top
-click stretch/skew
-make each value in the top two lines 40% or so....

Cool pics! I could see them just fine. My browser resized them I guess.
What a cute little wasp!

She doesnt pinch or sting you?

I would prefer larger pictures.

The only real way to get stung is to restrain them, also somedays wasps like any other animal can just be cranky for some reason and you need to know through their body language when it is safe and not safe to interact, Also I had to do a lot of work with this one as she was very weak for a time, so it involved a lot of hand feeding.(Perhaps I earned some measure of tolerance?) I know for a fact I would not try this with her sister, who likes to hang out in the upper corner of the cage, she has a completely different temperment, though she likes handfeeding thats about it.

Also their is an article that staes that wasps reconize colony members through LEARNED cues such as sight smell and chemosensory perception, and since I hand fed her a lot perhaps she thinks of me as a nest mate? Who knows? I dont want to give them attributes they dont have but they are FAR from mindless robots.
