LARGE WASP VISITING THE HOLLYHOCKS |

WILDLIFE NOTES: The large wasp on the Hollyhocks
and the Egyptian Grasshopper.
(I have a love hate relationship with these)
This one is the female and quite large and her
mate is about half the size but between them they can chomp
through alot of plant and they seem to like the bayonet leaves
of my cordalines......
Still you have to admit they are rather
magnificent.
Gone into the insect life here. When you first come out here
some of these creatures seem threatening but you soon learn to
live with them.
It is being a funny year, There are not many
bees
about
and there seems a sad lack of crickets at the
moment. I am sure they are usually around by now. I think it
is the odd spring we had.
