Apr. 22nd, 2011 03:59 pmMy grandad has just phoned, on this glorious sunny bank holiday Friday when I should be at work but it's a bank holiday, so I'm not, so I should be in the garden but it's just too hot so I'm inside, but my point is.... my grandad has just phoned to say he's caught an enormous wasp in a plastic box and do I know anybody who might be interested in it?
I have related his tale first to my dad, then to my mum and all three of us have had the same response - the enormous wasp in question is not quite as big as the one from Doctor Who but it's about an inch and a quarter long - it is likely to be a hornet. We have all agreed that leaving it in the plastic box until it dies is probably the best thing to do with it. Possibly not the kindest thing but it's a hornet, it deserves it. Particularly in the battle of hornet vs 85-year-old widower.
