Huia, The reporters would come down my chimney because it could be referred to as a 'point of access', and as Santa uses it, why shouldn't they :-D :-D

...yet again, calling them GIANT spiders. They're not - it's their normal size - they are a large species. :-(

If only... I could give them the location of quite a few bbqs.
We have these superwasps native in France where they are not a problem not even for bbqs mores the pity.

Doesn't work Bob. Go to the image and select 'open to all' or words to that effect.

Added - click the edit button then select 'shared with everyone'.

If it's tiny, I'm almost sure it's a Rusty Tussock, a Vapourer moth caterpillar.
I saw my first one this year in the garden, on holiday in Devon!!

If it's huge, Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrgggggggggg!
