First Waspyfeckers of 2015?

[Rickshaw Phil]

I've found two in my car, two in the warehouse at work and one was banging its head on the window trying to get in to my room this evening.

I'm going into hiding now as they're clearly out to get me.

One drinking from my pond today and one or two prospecting for likely nest sites.

A cleg is the Norse name for a horsefly, I was bitten on my a*se (another Norse word) by one in France a few years ago, horrible things.

Whereas Cleggs nick rather than bite.

Anyhow, I had a wasp in my bedroom yesterday afternoon and it refused to fly toward the open window and the source brightest light in the room. It thereby failed my impromptu Darwin test.

I don't mind wasps now I've realised they have no interest in me whatsoever unless I'm covered in something sweet. There was one in the shed when I opened the door the other evening.
