Wasps have a serious image problem, don't they?
No-one is bothered when they are out and about earlier in the year (you
don't see them much then) gathering up caterpillars from your fruit & veg to
feed their larvae, but the moment they are on ripe fruit later in the year,
drunk as **** and likely to sting you, it's all "let's set a trap and kill
them"


Well, those particular wasps are all under sentence of death, anyway,
so it doesn't make much difference to them :-)
