August 27th, 2014: Catching some ZZZZZZZs

Not to pick on Spuck, but I find the flashing emoticon, what ever it is supposed to mean, annoying in the extreme, mainly because it has an auditory effect somewhere deep in my computer.
I am surprised to find wordplay on WASP in regard to English wasps. Isn't that an American term?
Does anyone have an idea as to what kind of wasps those are?

Well yes, WASP is an American term, but this board is international and known for thread-drift.... and I rarely hear the term wasp used here (in Midwestern USA) to describe the yellow and black stinging insects. they call everything answering that description a bee. Occasionally a hornet. But mostly bees. *shrug* I gave up on that years ago.
