I can’t tell you how jealous I am (lol) but also how happy it makes me to know this. Thank you. Their music, particularly the Bon Scott records got me through high school (unfortunately he died just before I started high school). I must have seen their Let There Be Rock movie close to a hundred times now…I actually first saw it in the theatre when it first came out (as close as I’ll ever get to seeing him in concert).

AC/DC with Bon Scott. I have sent them a couple of times with Brian Johnson and they were fantastic…but I absolutely love the material they put out with Bon Scott and would have loved to see him sing those amazing songs.

I agree, I understand how natural succession works…and clearly it works in this case. I just find it interesting to see one species place its entire future on one other species…kind of an all the eggs in one basket approach. I suppose if tarantulas were to disappear, the wasps would also go extinct, unless some had the ability to adapt and use another host. Is there cases where we see these wasps successfully, albeit rarely, use another host for their eggs?

I find it interesting that the Pepsis wasps link their success with that of tarantulas. It seems counterintuitive to need tarantulas in order to breed, but each offspring kills a tarantula. Do they have the ability to change host incubators if tarantulas were to become unavailable?
