Found this wasp in the grass looking distinctly woozy- suspect my cat might have done one of his mid air swipes and connected. Persuaded it onto a piece of card and made the most of the opportunity. it did recover shortly after and flew off.

He certainly looks dazed in #1 Brian and is going to throw up in #3 I think he's been on the amber nectar :-) or had too many Green bottles :-)

Great opportunity taken. Does look woozy. Like #2 best. Glad he recovered OK.

Either that, or he has just emerged from an old beer can. Well spotted Brian. :D
