    Just found a wasp wandering across the carpet! It was massive aswell. Weird or what?

    Anyone lost their pet wasp?

    Could be a queen, apparently they hid in curtains or other warm places when it starts getting cold. Sometimes they can get unsettled and as they are in mid hibernation, they get really drowsy.

    Of course I should add that I have no idea where I got that, so it might need some verification.

    queen wasps supposedly survive the winter and then set off in the spring to build a new nest (I caught one building a nest in my shed a couple years ago - she met a sticky end).

    On another note check your sheds for little golf balls type hives stuck to the inside of the roof.

    I just swatted a massive wasp in the living room. We just put a Christmas tree in there literally an hour ago, so maybe it was hibernating in there? Bizarre.

    Found a monster by the sink, if I didn't know better I'd say by it's movements that it had been drinking.
