		<description><![CDATA[Not being open to the elements would seem like a pretty basic requirement. I wonder if wasps show signs of learning from year to year. Only the queen survives from year to year, I believe. The workers all live and die annually. So the queen would be the one that needs to learn from her mistake. Anyone know if wasps learn from experience to build better nests?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi Kelly. Glad you liked the story. Your comment makes me think of the last scene in Chekhov&#039;s The Seagull between Nina and Kostantin, when she has come in drenched out of the storm and quotes Turgenev: 

&lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;Happy is he who can sit at night under the roof of his home, who has a warm corner in which to take refuge.&quot; I am a sea-gull--and yet--no. [She passes her hand across her forehead] What was I saying? Oh, yes, Turgenev. He says, &quot;and God help all homeless wanderers.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Amazing story! It looks like the frog is coughing up yellowjackets. Lots of news lately about humans getting flooded out of their homes and neighborhoods from hurricanes and the like. This is a good reminder that it happens to wildlife too. Thanks Melissa; I love this story.]]></description>
