yesterday's paper wasps

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

The exterminator said it was the largest he'd seen this year, but nowhere near the largest they'd dealt with this year from all pest species. That honor went to a beach-ball-sized mess of Japanese hornets.
