I was wondering if it is unusual to see wasps flying in September; after a ‘summer’ in which we have seen few if any; but two of them were causing a problem on the bus yesterday, then one made a direct line for me sitting by the fountains this lunchtime.
research reveals that it is not unusual; although a helpful note from Blackpool council explains the nests usually start to come to an end in August, a useful set of data from Wasp Watch (sadly discontinued in 2010) shows that September sightings are not at all rare, it is the lowlevel of activity in July & August which isunusual
