carl0s Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 there's this wasp on my window-ledge which was on its back making the occasional 'zip' noise. I flipped him back over with a peice of paper and noticed he seems to have a wing missing. I left him sat there 'cause I don't know what to do and I'm also very slightly arachnaphobic (ok, it's not a spider but still..). The problem is that 'cause he's got a wing missing, he keeps trying to fly off and every time he does it he just ends up doing a sideways-roll and ending up on his back. What should I do? It's very sunny on my window-ledge and I think the poor sucker must be burning up and dehydrating. Should I go and drop him in the grass somewhere and let him die naturally without being on my conscience? thanks you fellow mkivsupra.net members.

Supra_Nish Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 SWAT IT!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted June 10, 2005 Author Share Posted June 10, 2005 I'm scared of trying to take him outside because when he's the right way up, he can walk about and might get me. He does look tired though. aww I just noticed he's limping a bit too. no I can't swat it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Do the nice thing and let him fly again ...open the window and flick him upside the head into the grass..that way he gets a last flight and dies in the grass as well ..good all round solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 Squish the little fecker. He'll be the first of a swarm coming to plague you this summer and gurantee you won't think twice by the end of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted June 10, 2005 Share Posted June 10, 2005 this is the funniest thing i have read all day! my favourite bit was 'let it walk round and see if it can find something' 'what, its wing?' closely followed by a mental video generated by the thought of a one winged wasp tryin to fly, and rollin over, in slomo, with a funny face on the wasp!!
