Concern over 'large wasp' spotted in Kildare Town
A reader in Kildare Town has sent KildareNow a photo of a large wasp-type insect which she saw in her estate at the weekend.
The mother said the unusually looking bug chased her son who was on his scooter at the time.
She said: "It look like a fat dragonfly but has the colours of a wasp. It has two pairs of long wings.
"It has a long body which tapers towards the end and the tail is black with yellow spots.
"The size of it would actually frighten you. And it seemed quite aggressive. Not sure if it has a sting.
"I asked a few people about it but nobody has seen it before.
