crteach Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #1 · Mud dauber nest + parasites Found a mud dauber's nest on my step-in post in the garage. We'll be using the post, so the nest has to go....so why not put it to good use for my classroom? Broke one open to show my students how the paralyzed spiders are used to feed the developing wasp larvae. Could be interesting to have students count numbers and types of spiders to determine food preferences. 1. We're all in this together 2. Going nowhere fast Edited on Jul 02, 2009 at 11:37 PM · View previous versions Jul 02, 2009 at 04:57 PM

jjohnson7 Offline Image Upload: On p.1 #3 · Mud dauber nest + parasites You almost have to wonder if one of the spiders had its own little parasite that is using the spider-hoarding methods of the daubers to get to the dauber's larvae... Jul 02, 2009 at 06:57 PM

n0b0 Offline Image Upload: Off p.1 #4 · Mud dauber nest + parasites I really like spiders but when I see a bunch of them piled together like that, can't help but feel like squashing them. Jul 02, 2009 at 07:23 PM
