Weekend theme: #LiveAlbumFever

Kicking off the weekend loud with my favorite live W.A.S.P. album. It includes tracks exclusive to this release (“The Manimal” and “Harder Faster”), and the band absolutely lives up to those titles—leaner, meaner, and unmistakably louder.

Artist: W.A.S.P.
Album: Live... In the Raw (1987)
Release: 1998 CD reissue
Region: US
Label: Original Masters – 155062

062 - Wasp

Generally I want to ding something like this for being too busy, but somehow, this works.

Given how big she was in the 80s, it's sad how much she disappeared around this time 'til becoming a weird Wasp creature.

Also played a game of Wasp but lost. Oh well, better luck next time!

For scale, the butterfly eggs in this shot are 1.8 mm in size.

"The overall winner in the ’18 and over’ category is Raghuram Annadana (Instagram: @macro_by_raghu) for his photo ‘Parasitic Play’ showing the eggs of a Banana Skipper butterfly (Erionota thrax) taken in India. He captured a parasitic wasp in the act of laying its own eggs inside the butterfly eggs. "

We've made a shelf just for classic #ScienceFiction in the SF section, here are three Joe has loved over the years:

The Illustrated Man: as a youngster, this short story collection was my gateway into the works of Ray Bradbury (still reading him today)

I Am Legend, Matheson's slim classic (oft-filmed, never really quite getting the book) captures that era of Cold War paranoia, fear and isolation

Wasp, a delightful, slightly anarchic adventure romp, beloved by Terry Pratchett. A highly resourceful agent is dropped on an enemy planet to cause distractions (the way a wasp can distract a much larger creature). The humour is like a forerunner of Harrison's later Stainless Steel Rat.

So... I found 3D print models are available for big massive #wasp nests. Perfect for front door #ICE repellent and also a valuable home for beneficial wasps of the garden. I noticed last year the wasps were often looking for a good place to build a home for their family. I believe these may also be made with papier-mâché over a balloon too. Fun art project for the whole family.
