Just in time for Halloween, I found aliens! Not really but what I found gave me the idea that this would be ideal for a movie prop. Last week, when I moved the plants into the greenhouse, I found a wasp nest. About a dozen or so wasps had already hatched and were buzzing about the greenhouse after I agitated them enough to make them leave the nest. Needless to say, they were NOT happy. Also, needless to say, I vacated the greenhouse as I have had enough stings for this year. Thirteen different stings is far too many by my standards.
It was that nest that caused me to stop and ponder the likeness of the wasp nymphs and movie aliens. A closeup photograph made the empty cells of the nest appear to be some rough terrain of a different planet. Seeing the swollen egg cases that were ready to pop out new wasps really made the idea seem plausible. When seen "up close and personal", a simple thing like a nest can take on a new perspective. Hmmm...I guess we can just chalk it up to more strange beings on the Bayou...or my overactive imagination.
