large flying thing came in the window!

we have all just had a duck fit as a large type of wasp came through the window. it was about 4 inches long and a thin body. i got my trusty can of vape super ko2 and sprayed. it is fantastic stuff for getting rid of unwanted beasties. it was huge kirsty grabbed chelsea quick, bless she was fast a sleep. guess i'm sleeping with my windows shut.

the wasps and bees seem to be getting larger each year
