Meet the Hornets - Richmond Park September 2013
Despite their impressive size and fearsome reputations hornets are of necessity rather elusive creatures. Richmond Park has a small but persistent population of these, the largest British social wasps. This'event' is an opportunity to see some hornets close-up (without getting stung!), to visit their colonies and to learn something about their behaviour, their relationships with other animals and their place in
the ecology of the park. Other social wasps will be available too and so hopefully will be some of the insect species associated with their nests.
Date, Time & Location: Pembroke Lodge Information Centre: Saturday 21st September 10:
30
This could be - but isn't! - an all-day event. For those planning to make a day of it, the Red Deer rut should be under way in the park. Alternatively the Royal Ballet School will be open as a part of the main Open House event.
