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

We don't want to hatch any chicks so would love for him to go to an awesome home where he can make many beautiful babies. We could swap him for 1 or 2 laying hens?

He is the first of his five siblings to be born in New Zealand.
Would the low life who took our leg of ham from the garage freezer in Houldsworth St last Wednesday when we inadvertantly failed to lower our garage door, like to call back for the mustard I have left out. Next year give me a call and I'll gladly buy you one.

Over the years, siblings Ross and Wendy Palmer have celebrated the unexpected in a garden that's full of unexpected twists and quirky turns.
Ross says they've "made random a virtue", and whatever form of plant life or gardening you're into, chances are this inventive duo has incorporated it in some way.
"This is our play area and neither of us are afraid to do silly things and playful things," says Wendy.
A portion of fish and chips in Kaikōura has just upped the ante on Kiwi cuisine.
That's right, just when you thought 'fush 'n chups' couldn't get more Kiwi - behold; North and South Island-shaped battered fish.
Hey neighbours, I hope you’re now on the wind-down side of Christmas! If you’re heading off on holiday shortly, please give a little thought to how you’d manage if an emergency strikes while you’re away from home.

Check whether your holiday spot is in a tsunami zone and plan what you’d do if you need to evacuate. A local source tsunami could arrive in minutes, so there won’t be time for an official warning. It is important to recognise the natural warning signs and act quickly.
Remember, LONG or STRONG: GET GONE.
