Has anyone else noticed the lack of Wasps this year ?
Did that rainy spell kill them off perhaps ?

Lack of wasps

They are just making nests in people's lofts and garages, they'll soon be out in swarms.

Must admit, I've not seen that many around and I can usually spot one a mile away since I'm petrified of the bloody things.
Slugs and snails are EVERYWHERE at the moment though. I guess that'd be from the wet weather.

I've seen a few, but not nearly to the same degree as usual. However it is still a little early in the year for them, they usually come out around August in droves...
It would be a bit weird if the wasps were like somehow consuming all of the snugs and snails and died from like a disease or a type of wasp obesity. But from what I think I know wasps only sting. AHHHHHHH I don't know enough about wasps 
Edit: Read some more about pollination and stuff, so yeah my theory would be wrong but still weird if wasps found a method to devour slugs and snail and would gain weight.

Heresy, they pollinate.
They basically keep our world regenerating, they are GUARDIANS DEWD.

you had to research that?
One can only hope, I'm terrified of them. So much so that one that flew towards me caused me to step out into a road that had decent traffic!
Stupid I know, but such is an irrational fear.
No, thought it was only bees and butterflies that pollinated. Don't care to much about wasps. Also I found out wasps pollinated because of other posts later on in thread.you had to research that?
You should try to understand that the thing you should fear is the result of it.

you do realise they are more scared of you than you are of them. well that's what I kept getting told anyways about insects and that. I don't think it is true but has got me through life
Id rather play with traffic than sit in the same room with a spiders, I can certainly empathise with you there!
