I once destroyed a wasp nest - it was just the tiniest thing, about the size of a walnut, suspended inside the chimney of a hurricane lamp on my patio which had, over the winter, grown green with lichens. I had plunged the thing in a bucket of bleach water and the nest, along with the green scum, dissolved in minutes. I was brandishing a towel in case the wasp attacked me, but when I went to replace the dried chimney on the lamp base, I saw the wasp "dancing" about the post searching for her nest. I watched her cautiously as she flitted up and down around and below the unit before shocking me with a dramatic performance depicting grief at a loss. I watched her literally drape herself over the base in a pose reminiscent of the "Pietà (" and it moved me so profoundly that it haunts me to this day.
