So do wasps. It’s amazing, but not very helpful of them. How are we to know when we’re about to tread on a nest and … um… .upset them?

Nice pic!

They don’t tell you about all this wildlife in the guidebooks, you know. I really think they should be obliged to mention it. As a warning.
Sister – Loving the image of wasps with tiny little spades! :) And cheers for the reassurance on the bee stings. I’ll let you know when I’m dead…

Wasps were my rude awakening to the flying underground life!! they too make homes in the mud…i wonder how they dig the hole without tiny little spades?!!
Last night i watched a programme about bees who made there hives on the side of a cliff…yum honey…not so good for the locals (thats humans not bees), who had to climb up rope ladders and use very complicated and dangerous methods to retrieve it…with no protective clothing may i add!!!
+ did you know that if you get 7 bee stings in a row it could kill you (thats as long as you aren’t allergic), and the weirdest thing was they actually did this for fun…and just ate it, didn’t sell it or anything!!! The lengths some people go!!

Beware the killer bees…beware!!!

Here in my corner of (used to be) leafy Berks we seem to be over-run with caterpillars, snails and slugs. All they seem to do is eat the plants, not much danger there (unless you go outside to smoke in bare feet…)

ps. are you sure that they aren’t just flying ants in their away stirps? :)
