Why donst wasps realise Waspinator is a fake wasps nest?
They don’t get close enough. They see the Waspinator from 6 or 7 metres away, they see the shape of a wasp’s nest and the horizontal pattern which makes it look fibrous and layered like a real wasp’s nest, and they fly straight off. Not a lot is known about wasps’s eyesight, other than they can see for long distances, but they do get fooled by other things €” for example the ability of orchids to appear and smell like a female wasp which elicits copulating behaviour by the male wasp and thereby the pollination of the orchid. Too much information perhaps, but nature uses mimicry to induce behaviour in wildlife, and Waspinator uses it to get rid of wasps.
