A wildlife trust hopes a giant wasp nest found in a house could help people better understand the insect.

The impressive structure, measuring an estimated 75cm (30in) across, was donated to the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire by a pest controller, who was called to remove it from an attic.

Now situated in the entrance to the trust's office in Cambourne, Cambridgeshire, the nest has gained attention and also highlighted that wasps are skilled architects.
