Not just for mesquite bugs anymore!

Just what makes that little ol' ant think she can eat a big mesquite plant?? An ant and a paper wasp (yes, upside down) on a mesquite pod. Bob and Peggy Wenrick saw this wasp on the way up the road on Friday, 6/24/11, and the wasp was still there on the way down, an hour or so later. That's some good mesquite juice!

You'll be happy to know that ants and wasps are insects (class) and Hymenoptera (order).
