Wasp menage-a-trois
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Aug 05 2009 | By: dududiaries
The battle of the sexes has been taken to extreme in many insects. Males and females engage in all sorts of strategies and schemes to manipulate the opposite sex in the insect world. Sometimes females have to fend off amourous males. This is what I found a couple of mornings ago when I noticed a female wasp being mobbed by two males. They both hung on to her back trying to mate with her even though she didn’t want to mate with either of them!More soon!

I heard a fascinating story on National Public Radio yesterday about orchids that trick wasps into mating with them: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=112124695 Your photos of the wasp orgy reminded me of it. BTW, the Butterflion is gorgeous!
