Looked up from PC and saw this huge bastard sitting on my curtain. Took me 1/2hr to get rid of it.

Thank for the link to the story, I just did a search on image (hope no one thought that was my hand.. egads no)

Dunno if people outside of UK know this but these big bastards are endangering the native bees which could have all sorts of ramifications. To hell with global warming.. Save The Bees!!!!!
