blonde poker forum

bear in mind it has been twatted with a newspaper after it flew nto my room ... its the biggest fkin wasp I have ever seen in my life .... is there a super wasp mutation flying about ?

the fag box says smoking kills ... maybe so, but a rolled up copy of the local paper kills quicker ;)

Its called a hornet mate ;)

hornett?

There must be something in the water, had a bee about an inch and a half lazily flying around my lounge last night.

thats what i though

It wouldn't be a Colchester Kev thread without the obligatory bbc link.

Its called a dead hornet now !

Seriously, i thought hornets were smaller than wasps, but seems not.

Nah, waaaaaaaaaaay bigger

Thank God I live in the artic. Too scary!

I have a squirrel living in my garden, I'll try & get a pic  :)up

Bloody hell Dewi, no point in us trying to help you identify it now, you have told us what it is already ;)

kev back to reassert his authority with these new mods in town

as an aside - i did hear of some Eastern European super wasps savaging France and that they are on there way!

It's very hard to take a pic of though, I think it's a super squirrel

IDK WTF  it is but phone Harry im sure he would sign him up for next season if the fee is right

It's a good photo. Would have needed a flipping long lens to get close enough if it were alive. A Monster!

was on my phone, i was quite impressed with the pics myself tbh.

Alarm escalation

Hornets, like many social wasps, can mobilize the entire nest to sting in defense, which is highly dangerous to humans. The hornet alarm pheromone is used to raise alarm of nest attack and to identify prey, such as bees.[5] It is not advisable to kill a hornet anywhere near a nest or fag packet, as the distress signal can trigger the entire nest to attack. Materials that come in contact with pheromone, such as clothes, skin, dead prey, or hornets, must be removed from the vicinity of the hornets nest. Perfumes and other volatile chemicals can be falsely identified as pheromone by the hornets and trigger an attack. It is not advisable wear these things around hornets.


FYL run!

Is this it Dewi?

You told us yours was a wasp in the OP and it turned out to be hornet.

Who knows what's actually living in Dewi's garden? It is Wales after all.

No Del, this is Dewi's visitor ..

What do hornets say in the summer?














'swarm.

Thread would get interesting if the squirrel got twatted with a newspaper and had photo next to fag box.

WE have a pet Hornet called Harry, hes been missing for a few days, hope he was only stunned

Please release harry back into the air

Kev, clearly you need to tell us if it's a 10 Deck or 20 Deck pack of Fags, to paint a true picture of the size of the little fellow?

Could have been worse
