Whats happened in the last couple of weeks that has brought out the wasps -
not only the standard UK ones, but there seem to be some of the Mediteranean
types that are half the body size and seem to be particularly dopy ?

trying not to sound patronising You don't mean the plague of Hoverflies do you?

I saw a different kind of wasp today, had one black marking on it's back.

Fly spray responded quickly

Probably cupra. Whose responsible for them ?

I came home today after work and I was about to report the same. After a few
weeks of them impeding my goings-on I wondered if anybody else was being
affected. Thanks for mentioning it, Phil.

Certainly a lot of wasps about in my little bit of heaven on earth - yes,
wasps, not hoverflies, easy to tell the difference. Lots of hoverflies too mind
you - and very few greenfly :-)

Cheers.

These 'Mediterranean' jobs along with the regular British yellow and black
things (and huge bumblebees, hoverflies with the occasional hornet thrown
in) are precipitating any number of highland flings at my workplace in
Peterlee... any entomologists (?) got a handle on them ??

Gonna be a bad year for wasps.

.......a couple of them stung me in the mouth last week! (Standard British
Wasps as I recall)-yes, I know, many lessons to be learned from that event.
A couple of their smaller mates (Hoverflies I believe) accompanied me on a
flight in the glider as well.

Feeling much better now

Yeah, tell me about it - been stung three times in the last week, out
cycling

Having to cycle with my mouth closed all the time - got stung in the
mouth last year - most unpleasant!

Yeah, and because it's so hot all the windows are wide open so the little
bu88ers come flying into the house all the time. Not to mention the swallow
that popped in for a flying visit to my office this morning!
