Macedonian melons in Skopje - wasps are optional

Macedonian melons in Skopje - wasps are optional, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

A urprise in the markets of old Uskup, were the large numbers of wasps feeding off the opend watermelons, like these. From a distance they look like pips/seeds, but were yellow and black and moving.

A recent photo from Kosovo of watermelons was used for an article discussing how the scientists ar trying to genetically manipulate the seeds away from the water melon (for the US market). Needless to say, the complaint is that they know longer have any taste.
