Story

Machine translation from German

An abandoned wasp nest from a shed in my parents' house shows the skill of the common wasp. How they make the finest paper from wood particles, with patterns that look as incredible as painted. Perceived today as uninvited guests at the coffee table, causing panic for fear of allergic reactions, I remember several insect bites every summer, easily killing the pesky insects at the kitchen window when they besieged our house during the cherry stone. I became aware that wasps are a protected species only in the last few years.

Master builders, artists, beneficial insects in the ecosystem.

How perceptions change!
