Wasps have been a real pest this year, ruining the plums, then starting on
the grapes, and now having a go at the apples. I thought I'd get some of
the apples stored before the wasps damaged them all, but I didn't expect
to come across this bad boy!

That's either a very small apple or a very big wasp...it must be a queen
getting ready to hibernate for the winter.
