@HappyCrafter I'm sorry for your distress with wasps, but generally they don't intend being nasty unless having gorged themselves on fermenting fruit in one's garden and then they can become very belligerent. If you have an allergy to wasps, then you're quite right to kill them. 'Hardening hairspray' sounds interesting, but I would have dratted the insect with a rolled up newspaper. Or even use a coffee coaster.

Fact is, wasps actually do a lot of good. Unlike flies that spread disease, wasps only want a clean piece of food or a catterpiller to fly home to their nest to feed their wasp family and also, they will enjoy eating a nice bit of steak, haha. But hornets are really something else and I am glad and grateful we are not in their flight path as used to be.

Well, I thought I'd just swing by to see how you are. I hope you don't encounter any more of them.
