Jessica Rolan 'The Secret Lives of Animals: Wasp Edition' 1 - 20 June 2021

 


The Secret Lives Of Animals: Wasp Edition

JESSICA ROLAN

My name is Jessica Rolan, a part-time artist enjoying exploring different media and art-forms. This comic strip came from an art prompt by Sketchy Business for “a day in the life of animals”. 


Wasps are a very important part of our insect life and deserve more love than they get! I hoped that this little comic would be uplifting and speak to us all - wasp and human alike - that our worth is not dependant on our popularity.

If you want to find out more information about how useful and clever wasps are, this video made by Chris Packham for BBC Springwatch is a great place to start:





This is another great clip explaining the essential functions wasps perform in the ecosystem:




Charities such as Buglife and the RSPB have great information about how to help and encourage these essential insects in your garden.

Here's an image of a wasp drinking from the PPCG bird bowl before flying off to chew some wood for its paper nest.
