Hi Maggie

 

We had a couple of Venus Fly Traps in the kitchen last year and to be honest they didn't seem to attract wasps. In fact they didn't seem to keen on large flies either..only the small variety. They are the most fascinating plants though. My two children kept catching small flies and literally feeding them to the plant just to see it snap closed. Obviously very spoilt Venus Fly traps!!

 

We too are enjoying the frosty wasp-free weather, although the frost has not been so severe down in Sussex. Snow forecast today though!

 

How long does the cold weather have to go on for to stop the Queens from nesting? Last year I seem to remeber a cold snap in May which the media then said had been responsible for the small numbers of waps last summer.

 

Does anyone have any idea?
