Ensign Wasps – Cockroaches Beware
SUMMARY: Ensign Wasps are small, harmless wasps known for their distinctive behavior of flagging their flattened abdomen while searching for cockroach egg cases to lay their eggs in. These wasps are common in tropical and subtropical regions, likely originating from Asia. The larvae of Ensign Wasps consume the host eggs, ultimately leading to the host’s death. While the sighting of these wasps in homes indicates the presence of cockroaches, they are interesting to observe and pose no threat to humans. Other natural predators of cockroaches include the Emerald Cockroach Wasp and various amphibians, which can help control roach populations.

Pelicans Fly in Odd-Numbered Flocks – Right?
SUMMARY: Observing Brown Pelicans flying in formation is captivating, especially when they align in V-shaped patterns. This fascination deepened in the mid-90s when a friend, Jerry Porche, mischievously questioned why pelicans fly in odd-numbered flocks. This sparked a years-long quest for the author to count the birds, though they eventually spotted a flock of two, leading to Jerry’s witty remark about a ‘late third bird.’ Reflecting on this experience, the author realizes Jerry’s question ignited curiosity about nature, highlighting how friendships can inspire passions. Now, encountering two-pelican flocks evokes laughter and fond memories of Jerry, reminding us to appreciate shared wonders.
