How a listener caught a wasp

From Afternoons, 3:37 pm on 28 January 2025

Earlier on the show we found ourselves talking about ways to track down a wasps nest. One suggestion was to lightly freeze the wasp, tie a string to its leg and watch where it goes. 

Listener, Tejo, chats with Jesse Mulligan about how they caught a wasp with a new type of 'wasp catching mist' from the Australian Entomological Society, and gave it ago.
