Hornet

A year without wasps.

Just imagine that..

Such important garden predators, feasting on invertebrates.

We’ve seen ONE so far this year.

That’s my idea of a disaster. Who knows what cascading impacts this loss of a keystone species may have?

Strangely, this has been a good year for the big, gentle giant cousin

of the wasp - the hornet.

One came calling today so I helped her out. I took a few phone snaps before she went on her way..
