accustoms itself to the sight of strange objects, and by its behavior when a

response to stimuli.” 
4. After emergence, the first reactions are associated simply with the discomfort of 
the hardening of the tissues. 
It has marked curiosity, as shown by its repeated inspection of its nest and other 
familiar objects.

when two or more are on the same nest. 
The olfactory sense is closely associated with the early instincts of the wasp.
