QUOTE: "As mentioned by evolutionary biologist Elizabeth Tibbetts from the University of Michigan, "We're not saying that wasps used logical deduction to solve this problem, but they seem to use known relationships to make inferences about unknown relationships." The study involved introducing the wasps to a hierarchical grading of colors called 'premise pairs'. Id the wasps were to land on the color B rather than the color A, they would receive a mild electric shock. However, the experiment extended with the same thing happening to the wasp, if they landed on C rather than B, D rather than C, or E rather than D. Impressively and rather quickly, the wasps displayed a preference for landing on colors that would not shock, 66% of the time."

This doesn't impress me, I'm in the belief we, as a species, have our head's buried so far up our asses, that we don't allow ourselves to see the intelligence of all, or any nature; just saying.

Wasps are mean, nasty, assholes.
