Cuckoo wasps are a group of 76 species that mostly parasitise other wasps. Like a cuckoo bird that manages to get another species to raise its chicks, these wasps use another's nest for their own young.Sue Catminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242341696447975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174929999542605112.post-87799223146711193922015-05-25T19:26:22.978+10:002015-05-25T19:26:22.978+10:00Denise, see my reply to Diana about this.Denise, see my reply to Diana about this.Sue Catminthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14242341696447975933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-174929999542605112.post-17272928403361989882015-05-25T19:25:09.138+10:002015-05-25T19:25:09.138+10:00I think it's rain.
