Abstract

A dismantling show using exterminated wasp nests was designed and practiced as a department of the museum festival. It was carried out smoothly under the good partnership between the Kurashiki Museum of Natural History and the pest control company. This interesting experimental trial produced merits for both of them. That is to say, a dismantling show of wasp nests is very effective to attract citizens' interest to natural history museums. On the other hand, the pest control company can offer exterminated wasp nests, which are unnecessary for their company or customer in many cases, for the effective educational campaign. It is ideal that the event using wasp nest will be planned in September and afterwards because event sponsor tend to obtain the enough expanded their nests with many individuals or caste (queen, male and worker). Additionally, some other ways of utilizing exterminated wasp are introduced.
