    Photos Christmas Eve Shock!

    Shock of the day:


    Christmas Eve morning, and I was sat in that little room (you know where I mean!) when suddenly, I heard a loud buzzing, and bugger me if it wasn't a WASP! December 24th, at 7.30am. I was shocked! Had to dash away and then of course capture it so I could get a couple of pics once I got home later in the day after work!

    Here it is, the Christmas Eve wasp...









    Paul.

    We have had a couple of butterflies in our house this past week which has been strange for the time of year. It has been very mild though.

    Thanks to SiE

    I agree about being mild, but I wouldn't expect something winged!

    Had 2 big slugs found their way in, but this was something else!

    Honest truth... I let it go in the garden. It was dark, starting to rain, but I put it out there anyway. Didn't kill it...
