Had a load of the little scrawny ones in the office again today, and two of these big mothers, apparently they are an invasive Asian wasp!!!!!!

 

Really??

That is an asian giant hornet, most unlikely to be seen in Norfolk.

Is that not an Asian hornet? I always think they look bio mechanical, nice sting n all239b5b76e14d7ef1dcb2690cdb57f694.jpg

It seems there are a good few of these Asian wasps here in Norfolk, there was a nest found not 5 miles from where I sit. I need a bigger swatter!!!!!!

They certainly found me, and the dog, today....

 

Walked over a ground nest in the woods this afternoon. I didn't get stung on the way through but the dog did, although I thought the frantic ground rolling was 🐺 💩!

 

On the way back the little bar stewards were waiting to ambush! I got about a dozen hits, mainly hands but also inner thigh, neck and, unbelievably savage, 🏀 bag! Hands have felt like throbbing boxing gloves all night. Mrs thinks it's hilarious but I'm not quite so chipper.

 

Was quite worried about the dog for awhile, she went downhill quite badly. I think she got a couple of dozen hits judging by what I combed out.

 

Nasty little bleeders buried right down through the fur to hit skin.

WTF! Is that a real image!

 

Hate bloody wasps, been stung many times over the years.
