The menacing wasp guards his nest and protects his reputation as a pollinator.
I pollinate, I build nests fit for a queen, I consume swarms of parasitic pests.
Call me hornet, wasp, yellow jacket, vespa, we coexist.
When one tugs at a single thing in nature,
one finds it attached to the rest of the universe.
