"They are the joy-killers: the destroyers of summer, determined to prove that the wild world is a plot against humanity."

Why all civilised people should love wasps

All gardeners, and all readers, have reason to thank them


"Dom Perignon, Pimms, Carling Black Label, Coca-Cola — one’s as good as the other, so far as they’re concerned. Even if they don’t manage to drown in the stuff, they spoil the taste for drinkers by creating panic out of all proportion to their size. They destroy the ardour of al-fresco lovers in an instant. They are the joy-killers: the destroyers of summer, determined to prove that the wild world is a plot against humanity."
