    Fully agreed, it's silly what draconian measures people take for even the slightest inconvenience, most of which is only a perceived threat. Posted 7 years ago

      Indeed. People don't seem to realise that wasps are very beneficial, eating garden pests etc. Posted 7 years ago

The Common wasp

''Vespula vulgaris'', known as the Common wasp, is a species found in regions that include the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, India, China, New Zealand and Australia. It is sometimes known in English as the European wasp, but the same name is used for the species ''Vespula germanica'' or German wasp.
