THE POTTER WASP'S UNUSUAL HANGING ACT - Plain Truth Staff - January 1978

Plain Truth Staff

Most mothers in the animal world are, as you would suspect, very solicitous of the future welfare of their offspring. However, it's not every day that you'll find one who will dangle her progeny in midair a few inches away from certain destruction. But that's exactly what the female potter wasp makes a lifelong career of doing. To start the next generation off on the right foot, the mother wasp builds a small urn from mortar where she places several paralyzed caterpillars. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
