[QUOTE="wangi, post: 125678, member: 3543"] I don't know what it is about them but they are just so darn brilliant. They look good, they are very successful, there are so many different kinds and so many lifestyles and they are quite smart as well. I tried to find a British Wasp Society but there doesn't seem to be one so I will set one up one day. Till then I have to be content with collecting them. I would like to keep some in the spring although I'm not sure my flat mates share my enthusiasm so it may have to be outside (oh look! A wasp's nest has fallen into this tank I put out here by accident. Oh well, I guess I'll have to leave them there while I study them). I don't have any good photos of them but this spring I am determined to find some to photograph. There were big red ichneumon wasps (I knew them as jewel wasps) in my house when I was little but my mam did not believe they were wasps because they weren't black and yellow. I'm not sure my parents realise that there are other kinds of wasps. Anyway, enough rabbiting on. I was wondering if anyone on the forum had any experiences with wasps, any photos of them or even trying to keep them. Are there lots of wasp enthusiasts out there? I know 1 right now and he is the first I have ever met, but he's a professional entomologist so he likes them by default. [/QUOTE]
