The giant wasp nest finally fell.

It looked like that October and hung on all winter, progressively raggedier, peeling around the edges, but still attached to the maple.

It was during the wet and windy snowstorm, I think, but I didn’t notice the carcass right away. Now it’s slowly turning into pulp in my front flowerbed.

    Quick! Save it – you can make it into art projects:

    Or, well, you can just let it compost itself. Less labor-intensive. ;P

Welcome!

I’ve been doing stuff with string for quite some time, and describing it to others online since 1996 or so at Phiala’s String Page.

I also do some science and write some fiction.

I’m Phiala most places on the internet.
