It’s surprising to find something aesthetically pleasing in a creature most people run from. Wasps have a mechanism for drying out nests where they suck up water and blow it away causing tiny bubbles to form. A photo captured this activity showing wasps drying their nests. The nests are made of a paper like substance and need the additional help staying dry. A factory worker in Malaysia caught the bubble blowing on film and the photos have been popular on social media. Some flies also perform the same activity as well.

Key Takeaways:

• Wasps use an interesting technique to keep their own nests dry as needed. New images show these wasps blowing tiny bubbles of water to dry nests.
• Wasps do engage in some surprisingly delicate behavior on their own. That flies in the face of previous assumptions that they are just plain dangerous.
• These efforts to dry out nests with water bubbles could pay off too. These wasps will procreate and their young can rely on a dry nest.

“They’re usually regarded as creatures to be feared, but new images show that wasps also engage in very delicate behaviour.”
