Spotted today: First Waspyfecker of the year ...

[Mad Doug Biker]

Stupid season is once again upon us......

Soon we will have people suddenly running away from things whilst making silly noises LIKE A BIG 3 YEAR OLD.

Do people honestly think that is normal sane adult behaviour?? I mean FFS!


I sometimes think I've landed on an alien planet, really, I do.

Wasps are shoot.

Wasps are shoot.

A cogent, compelling and persuasive argument 3BM with which many will find they have no choice but to concur.

You've met my wife then

No the're not. If you produced a stool made of wasps I think you would know ALL about it.

Would you like me to take you to our leader?

Haven't lost my high-school debating skills, rich!

My youngest put on his coat only to be stung by a big bastard which had been sleeping in the collar. Grrr

Slight typo there, I meant the Oxford Union of course...

We had a wasps nest in the eaves of our roof last year.
Was going to get someone in to remove.
But good advice on here said leave, they will die off when it get's cold and that they won't come back as they don't re-use the same nesting place twice.

 

[slowmotion]

I read that they get really mean in the autumn because they are pissed-up on fermenting fruit.

Bastards.

Bastards.

I like them for precisely this reason.

Yes mine too- more flapping about than a flapping thing.
I'm definatley in a minority as I quite like wasps. They do eat other bugs (often garden pests) sometimes, pollinate some plants as well as being food for some of our birds such as the sublimely beautiful honey buzzard. And the wasp's papery nests are a thing of real beauty. I find if you keep your nerve and keep still, they soon go off elswehere.

They have a place in things I guess, though admittedly probably best not within 15 feet or so of my wife!

 

[Maz]

Almost certainly queens on the search for somewhere nice to build a nest.

keep away from my loft, please. I had 3 of their nests up there last year!

That's a canal, right?
