 @wonderofscience A few years ago, I found a privet hawk moth (I believe, the largest moth native to the UK) - I basically shoo-ed off the wasp which I think had been attacking it.

 @wonderofscience That is the most "awakens my geek-gene" thing I've seen for AGES. Wonderful stuff!  A spectacular sight 1225m (4019 ft) beneath the waves off Baja California as E/V Nautilus encounters the amazing Halitrephes maasi jelly. Full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D0eyl7-XQA
