I was taking a swim in the pool and I found a dead paper wasp. I picked it up, set it on the floor next to the ladder hoping to put it in my jar for collection later. I forgot about it and after 2 hours it started to twitch. So then I had an idea. What if I preform "cpr" on it? I tapped its abdomen hoping to push the water out of its spiracles and get the hemolymph circulating. With each tap, it started to move more and more. I figured it was just nerves firing, but then it started to groom itself. After a few more minutes the abdomen started pulsating on its own. Then it stopped and the wasp stopped moving. I proceeded to tap the abdomen a few more times and then it started pulsating again and the wasp started moving again. This cycle happened again and again. The wasp moving more and more each time. After 10ish minutes of doing this the wasp started crawling on my finger. I gently blew air on it and it seemed to wake up. Then it flew away. Clumsily, but it changed direction multiple times, avoiding trees and structures. Can anyone explain how the heck this is possible?
