A Wasp Enjoys The Hummingbird Feeder
Hummingbird feeders are a terrific source of food for these tiny birds. Nectar from flowers is the food of choice, but these feeders are a great addition to any home or garden. It isn't necessary to purchase packages of nectar for the feeders. You can make your own by mixing 4 cups of water with one cup of sugar. Do be sure to change the water weekly to keep it fresh.
Hummingbirds aren't the only ones who will enjoy your feeders. The photo above shows a lone wasp sipping the mixture. As a matter of fact, while he ate, a female Ruby-throated Hummingbird came to feed. Although the wasp is tinier than the hummingbird, apparently she had encountered a wasp before, and perhaps a sting from one of these little insects. She left quickly with the little wasp chasing after her. He returned, having the feeder all to himself.
