Bastard spawn of Lucifer. Been bothered all weekend by them and one decides to sting while walking through the town centre. Have a lovely huge swelling on my arm which is starting to stiffen up. I hate them and see no obvious need for them.

Wasps
“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.” -
They probably see no obvious need for you either.
Wasps are actually quite useful in Mother Nature's cleansing department whereas you and I are probably not.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

Wasps eat other annoying insects. The fact that many feed on eachother can only be good, in my eyes. It's all part of the food chain.
I had an infestation last year that invaded my front garden feeding off the sap from a tree and I bought a wasp trap. This year I've not seen any sign of them yet, mainly I think because I have not pruned the tree this year, deliberately. Less available sap, less wasps !!Last edited by Cyberman; 4 August 2009, 20:03.Comment

When I was growing up in India, my mother used to hang a dead animal in the garden to attract the wasps so us boys could eat in peace without being annoyed by them.Comment
