Hmm. OK. The one I dealt with did not seem any larger than any other wasp I've ever seen, in fact it semed quite dainty, and it didn't make any kind of discernible sound, but then I listened to too much heavy metal back in the day. Is it possible that, given the very mild winter we've had, an ordinary wasp could have hibernated somewhere warm, in or around my house?

I can't help thinking that the tone of this thread might have been a little different if WDB had been stung by a wasp rather than a bee.
Perhaps you wouldn't have started it in the first place, WDB, and life would have been less fun.

At least it's reminded us what WDB stands for, Wasp Defender Bloke.

Here in NZ the “bad” type of wasp is called the German wasp. Make of that what you will..!

Long way for a wasp to fly.

On one holiday in Greece a wasp and I worked as a team disposing the flies buzzing around our outside sitting area. It's hit the flies with a fly swat and the wasp came in and lifted it to take it away. And repeat.
