Zombie wasps!!!
I killed a jasper this morning, gave it a good whack, stunned it then cut off its 'head'
Left it on the floor cos I'm lazy.
Just noticed that 5 hours later it has come back to life and is now crawling in a circle and trying to fly!!!!!

A lot of the basic bodily functions are controlled by the insect's sub-oesophageal ganglion - a kind of mini-brain. Insects have several ganglia of this type, distributed through the body. The body doesn't really need the head except to navigate, recognise danger, and find and eat food.
They don't have lungs either; the air gets directly into the body through tiny branched cavities in the abdomen.

Its the month of May. Wasps dont exist in May. Therefore it must have been a bluebottle in disguise. (I have a significant fobia for Jaspers and appear to be in denial).

In the beer garden last summer, as usual being pestered by the odd wasp hovering round our pints, so I slammed my pint glass down on one and got its stinger bit (the stripey yellow and black bit), tearing it off.
It crawled on the table for a bit before flying off again
We wern't so bothered about it after that...seeing that it lost its sting
