Sorry if it's the wrong place to post this.

Just seen this, and a few have been sighted not to far down the road.

Yes please :-)

Thanks.

 

[Lazarus]

Done.

Nasty bu**ers, isn't it.

I bet the sting packs quite a punch...

So far the closest they have been to me is about 60 ish miles away.

Hope they don't come this way.

I hate all these waspy/hornety barstewards. They should all be burned alive...

This might be useful

I think we need to send a squadron of Mosquitoes to bomb chez CJ.

Don't really care about mozzies - it's the wasps and hornets that I want this planet rid of.

I must admit I am not a fan of wasps or hornets.

They've been around in France for a couple of summers I think. Never got close enough to either type to identify whether it was Asian or European.

BTW Chris, are they large enough to show up on your Flightradar set up??

I will be making a buzz about it if they do.....

Sorry for the interruption to a genuine informative thread about invasive insects, but, in relation to the barstewards bit, I found this by accident the other day, had to post it here!

We'd have been surprised if it were any other way ;)


Anyhow, the Torygraph piece about these Hornets claims it's too cold up in the "North" for them to survive here. Typical Cosmopolitan sterotyping.

This little bu**er woke me up @ 2.30 am by stinging me about a month ago. I'd never been sting by anything up until then.
