Why is that yellowjacket crashing your BBQ? Well, she wants what you're having: burgers, hot dogs, fish and turkey. But she doesn't eat them herself. Her nest's larvae need that protein to develop. So she carves up your dinner and makes teeny-tiny meatballs for them.

We hope you enjoy this first look at our newest episode. You can start sharing it with other science fans on Tuesday, November 1 from YouTube. Thanks!
