Yes, I did see that MAHOOSIVE bee, it was flippin awesome. I hope its not the only one though, the way they were talking it sounded like it was !
I am cross with you Terry, please re-read my 'wasps are friends' post above, AGAIN.
I've been stung, errrr, 5 times now by wasps and all in the last decade oddly, they must sense I am slowing down lol
No, I know you aren't about to go murdering them....apologies if it came across as me 'pulling you up'. The false widow has come up on NMP a few times before based on Daily Fail-type hysterics, and it upsets me to think how loathed they are. Well, they aren't totally harmless lets be honest, they do bite if leaned on and it hurts lol Effective defenses. I just can't bear people saying they kill spiders, it makes me really really sad, when they are so cute. I had one of those house spiders make a web on a kitchen plant last year, and it ran out of flies so I was throwing any dead flies I found on its web, it was so interesting watching it react and wrap them up. Everyday can be a 'safari' if you let it be......
Look, liking them only goes so far, I don't want them crawling on me ! I don't have a weekly 'hug a wasp' day or anything, and hornets do freak me a bit. However, when I had a hornet issue last summer...even then I didn't exterminate them.
