Family Planning
This montage documents the growth of a Paper Wasp nest (Polistes sp., Vespidae) from the time when the cells were small and contained eggs only, progressively expanding to house several generations of wasps-to-be from eggs to chubby larva to capped pupal cells. And always there is a vigilant and defiant adult to guard the brood.
