Been having a bit of a problem here for the past couple of days with
very large wasps. I've had to deal with several in the house. We don't
usually get very many wasps here and certainly not this early in the
year. These ones are rather slower-moving than the bog-standard British
wasps and they appear to be at least 50% larger.

I've noticed a couple of people on Twitter commenting on them in other
parts of the country. Perhaps they are 'immigrants' as a result of
climate change.


I'd also go along with the idea that they are queen wasps. April seems
to be the usual time to see them. Someone in my old home town (Rushden,
Northants) reported a lot of wasps around their house a few days ago, so
many that they thought there must be a nest.
