Insect week is here again

We are currrently in the midst of national insect week this week, and the intiative was launched by none other than Prince Charles in the organic gardens of Clarence House this week.

He was joined by a group of children from Wolsey Junior School in New Addington, Croydon, south London, who had been invited to go on a bug hunt at the royal residence, and Dr Luke Tilley, who is National Insect Week co-ordinator.

One of the insects Chaz caught - and I promise I am not making this up - was a parasitic wasp.
