The Cartographer Wasp

The Cartographer Wasp Hair & Perfume Oil - NEW! Varnished oak inlaid with shining brass, caramelized benzoin, a dry hum of cassia, & blackened vanilla oud The wasp worked, glossy body curled over the delicate map tacked carefully to the floor with dots of resin. Around it, the heat and thrum of the hive made the air thicken and the pulse jump, but still it labored, its glossy stinger scratching gently against the paper's grain. Occasionally, it paused, plucking at compass and calipers, antennae giving a calculated twitch, before returning stinger to ink, ink to paper. If the colony were to survive, even thrive in this new land, its memories must be preserved. The maps must be remade.
