Wasp in the kitchen tonight?
My wifes just killed a Wasp in the Kitchen. Where on earth did that come from? I thought they were all dead at this time of year!

Was it a huge/queen-like thing?
It's probably just woken up from hibernation.
I keep finding ladybirds in the bathroom

Some do hibernate, house heating systems can screw up their judgement of when to wake up

Deffo wasn`t a Queen, was not big enough. Just found it strange as i didn`t think wasps in general hibernated!

Re: Wasp in the kitchen tonight?
I've found butterflys in winter before too. In a way it is good that they have survived and are still alive.

I'd heard that too, but I've found some big nasties in my house around this time of year so I assumed they had hibernated more close than I was comfortable with. They're after a nesting/feeding site I guess.

In the past few weeks we've had a couple in the kitchen and one in the bathroom (I'm talking about wasps, by the way).
And my wife keeps telling me I have a bee in my bonnet...

Wasps are predators of the insect kingdom.They do good as do spiders in getting rid of the rather disgusting germ carrying specimens such as flies.Why do people love bees and butterflies but hate wasps and spiders.
Thankfully Ladybirds have a better PR.
