🐝 Ham or jam? What are the wasps choosing?

Researchers at UCL want pest professionals to help them understand what wasps are eating this summer 🍴

The Picnic Wasp Survey is looking at whether foraging wasps choose protein-rich foods such as meat, or sugary foods such as jam, fruit and soft drinks – and whether those preferences change as the season progresses.

🕵️ Pest technicians spend a lot of time observing wasps in the real world, so your sightings could provide particularly useful evidence.

Next time a wasp takes an interest in someone’s lunch, take a closer look before you shoo it away.

📸 Snap a photo if you can
🍖 Record protein, sugar or both

Writing in The Conversation, Professor Seirian Sumner (UCL Genetics, Evolution and Environment) highlights the lower-than-normal abundance of wasps this summer and urges members of the public to watch out for visiting wasps to see what they want.

Wow, that's a high up wasps nest!

We attended to a customers garden yesterday as we suspected there would be the need to report an Asian Hornet nest to the Non-Native Species Secertariat. Much to our suprise it was a domestic wasp species with nest predation by European Hornets.

In this instance the nest was high enough and far enough from the customers house to leave alone.

It's worth remebering that wasps are beneficial to the environment and should be left alone where possible.
