Txs it's other way around human must be learned the pot making from wasp. Bx wasp is millions years old species...
Whenever I look at they clay pot nests I think the wasps must have had lessons from a South Indian potter ! They look so much like the terracotta "paanai" we get in the South.
Nice series & good follow-up. Thanks.
Awesome follow up of the story! Thanks for sharing :-)
