“The place where we collected wasps is slated to be an open-pit nickel mine,” Kimsey said.
“Just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach.”
A state university operates at the expense of the state’s citizens who provide the tax revenue to keep it operating. The same goes for the nation where one goes to find large wasps. This woman is ignorant of basic economics.

The two-inch-long (five-centimeter-long) black insects are shrouded in mysteryall of the wasp specimens caught so far have been dead. That's because as soon as they realize they might be captured they bite down on the cyanide capsule in their mandible.

"The fate of the species is in doubt....yadda yadda yadda...
...all of the wasp specimens caught so far have been dead.
Is there something I'm missing here?
They are all dead, right? No live ones?
Open the mine. There will be lots of nice, loose dirt for them to dig in if there are any live ones (and the dead ones weren't brought in to just stop the mine).

Why do you have to “catch” something dead? It isn’t going anywhere.

When you have wings and a flaming sword in your ass, you probably don’t need spiked mandibles to protect the nursery. More likely it’s just sexy like the intrepid, scornful jaw of a romance hero.

We have an Insect Museum attached to “Butterfly World”, a big attraction in South Florida.
The Biggest, Nastiest, most scary insects all seem to come from Indonesia.
And often, the specimen carries this note:
“LOCAL PEOPLE OFTEN CONSUME THIS INSECT AS AN ALTERNATE PROTEIN SOURCE”
Perhaps the bugs are fighting back! LOL!

Yikes! It’s like the Darth Vader of wasps!

LOL! I had the exact same thought as I read the headline! (I’m about 2/3 of the way through the first ‘Hunger Games’ book).

Liberals are going to hate you for talking about their president that way.
