Re: [insectstings] October!

..and just when I thought we could start to relax a little!  "sigh"
 
My son's school had two nests removed last week. The headteacher said that they are on 'Joseph' alert in the playground!
 
I don't mind the rain, but I hate the way that the wealden clay turns into a complete mud bath!
 
Looking forward to hearing from the residents of Menorca!

Hi Roz,
 
Yes, it is "singing in the rain" time here in Surrey and Sussex - and we have got a drought problem with a hosepipe ban which is ironic!
 
The wasps are still there, sheltering from the rain, and will probably be around once the rain has cleared, unfortunately.  I have seen wasps in this part of Surrey as late as 2nd December!!

PS    I would be interested to have this confirmed too - I have been told this by some very genuine residents of Menorca but it seems hard to believe!

I was just looking at the excellent 'mother site' to refresh my memory on the life-cycle of the wasp. I was rather hoping that, it being October, and what with the torrential rain that Sussex and Surrey have had, the little nasties may be on their way out!! Fingers crossed! I haven't seen any around here for a while anyway!
 
Whilst browsing, I came across the comment that wasps are possibly not to be found on the Balearic islands! Is there anyone out there who can confirm or deny this?
 
Many thanks, Roz

Don't know about the Balearics but when I went to Gibraltar I did a bit of research and it would seem there are no wasps there either, certainly didn't see...
