Kimberley<p>I found this beautiful little lady exploring the nooks and crannies around my water butts. I think she’s a German yellowjacket wasp (Vespula Germanica), and maybe a queen as she’s quite large but I’m not sure. She was very docile, maybe quite newly emerged. But I use my water butts a lot in summer so I’ve relocated her to a less troublesome location near some trees that are surrounded by brambles so nobody can get near enough to disturb any potential nests. </p><p><a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/ukNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ukNature</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/wasps" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wasps</span></a></p>
