The first stinging

3/3/2015

Polybia rejecta, in "Die Nester Der Geselligen Wespen" by Moebius, K. 1856 In Abhandlungen aus dem Gebiete der Naturwissenschaften. On Flickr thanks to Sean McCann (http://www.flickr.com/photos/deadmike/6070533377/)

Today, whilst out searching for suitable field sites, I was unceremoniously attacked by Polybia rejecta - a different wasp species to the targets (victims? leading ladies? heroines?) of my PhD. That takes my PhD sting count from nought to six in one fell swoop. Ouch.
