MUDD 374 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Does anyone know what them wasps are called that just hover in the air all the time but they look like a wasp/bluebottle x. We had this discussion in work the other day as everyone's noticed alot more of them this year already. Some or saying they're hornets which I don't agree with others say they just wasps. Has to be a name for the type. Lol. Looking forward to these replies !! Atb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticJock 539 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 I always called them hoverflys? They're not hornets, unless they're the size of your thumb and covered in tattoos Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AndyH 52 Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Hoverflies, no matter how harmless, still cause me to shit myself. If its yellow & black and flying at me, I'm running off screaming. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
