Paper wasps can be easily identified by their long, drooping back legs and laid-back, slow style of flying.
Asian, Australian and European paper wasps have gradually made their homes around our houses and fences and over the past few years and while they are useful for some unwanted bugs like the great white cabbage butterfly, unfortunately they aren't picky and have been feasting on our monarch butterfly caterpillar and other useful native bugs as well.
At Wasp Wipeout we are working hard to help raise funds to wipe out the most invasive species of wasps - the vespula (common and German) variety which inhabit a lot of our bush areas and regularly invade picnics and barbecues. To help us fight this species you can donate here
If you want to find out more about paper wasps, you can read the story and watch the video here

I’m looking for random planks of untreated wood that I’m going to put together and create an outdoor table top.
Ideally they will be different types of timber which will come together when varnished. I will also be using pallet wood so am hoping will look pretty good when all sanded back etc.
Really don’t want to pay a lot for the wood so if you want to give it away awesome! Otherwise I am prepared to pay as long as it isn’t too much. You might only have a couple of pieces but together with other wood it should all come together.
Thanks in advance.

I am looking for a free bunny. I was given a cage and would like to put it to good use. I have food and water bowls ect. If you would like to rehome your bunny or rabbit to a good home, please message me.
Good to see the rain outside. With demand creeping up yesterday, it's nice to know that our rivers will be getting a boost .

If you’re in a relationship, though, you have a leg up: When you set goals as a couple, you’re far more likely to keep each other focused on achieving them.
What are the best types of resolutions to make with your partner?
Below, marriage therapists and counsellors share seven resolutions that could make your relationship happier and healthier in 2018.
1. We’ll commit to small, measurable changes in our behaviour
“Ask your partner if they’d be willing to test something out with you. Say that you’d like your partner to name something in everyday life they’d like you to change. And you’ll do the same. Start small.
2.We’ll break up with our iPhones
“Divorce your phones this year. When you’re spending quality time together, park your phones at the door. Better still, shut them off when you’re spending couple or family time.
3. We’ll commit to becoming better people for each other
This resolution has you both focus your attention on what you can give to your partner.
4. We’ll treat each other as kindly as we treat our friends
Couples often treat their friends ― or even much more peripheral people in their lives ― with more kindness than they do their partners. You may give your friend the benefit of the doubt without hesitation. Do you extend that to your partner?
5. We’ll continue to share stories from our past
“Make a point to swap stories about your past: When you first dated, you were excited to share and hear stories about each other because it feels good to be known and to really understand one another. But then the focus likely turned to the day-to-day stressors and you stopped sharing stories
6. When we disagree, we’ll take turns talking and actually listen
Listening doesn’t necessarily mean agreeing. The active listening technique is so worthwhile because it fosters emotional intimacy. When most spouses really want is not to win an argument, but to feel understood.
7. We’ll upgrade date night
Commit to trying new things (new restaurants, new weekend activities, new vacation destinations, etc.), and doing so often.
