Interesting observations. Curiosity if you have been seeing quite a few euro wasps I would be concerned that there was a nest nearby. We had a nest in our compost heap which I didn't know about until I went to turn it over. Fortunately, I only got bitten once. It might be worth having a scout around to see if you could locate the nest and get rid of it. We ended up getting a pest control guy to come in, too many Euro wasps for my liking for me to tackle. After he dusted the nest and they had died, he dug the nest up, it was a massive nest, bigger than a netball

Thanks for reporting this Geoff. Whilst it is definitely upsetting, it is very valuable to have these sightings of their movements documented.

These droppings were found at the base of a Red Box Gum Tree in my yard. I believe they belong to a Common Brushtail Possum which I heard recently.

Hi Tim, Thanks for reporting the Jack Jumpers. Looks like section 194 on the map, does that sound about right? Cheers

Hi, Yesterday I watched a European Wasp attacking a European Honey Bee in the grass on my front lawn. It came back several times and it seemed the bee was slowly dying as it struggled in the grass for some time. By the time I got my camera the wasp didn't come back. I presumed that since the wasps like sweet things that it might have been stealing the pollen from the bee, but killed the bee in the process.
