Sitting on this sofa is like relaxing on a warm cloud, its that comfortable! Seat cushions are well filled with white feathers, the other cushions are plump and comfy, not sure what the filling is. All cushions except the chaise cushion are zipped. From non-smoking, no kids environment, only one very small mark that you barely notice. Must have faded since we bought it but the soft red fabric has pile and therefore is variable in appearance anyway. The back of the sofa is also covered in the same red fabric so the sofa looks fine anywhere in a room - it doesn't have to be back against a wall. The seat cushions are very generous in size so this is a large sofa that is perfect in a large room space. The sofa has moved with us three times; this time we've decided to offer for sale at $1500. See the three attached photos, taken this morning as I put the sofa back together after vacuuming. Email me today on ecowburn at gmail dot com

Price: $1,500

Howdy all. Here at Wasp Wipeout we thought we'd give you some information on how to deal with the wasp that most populates urban gardens - the paper wasp.

Paper wasps can be easily identified by their long, drooping back legs and laid-back, slow style of flying.

Asian, Australian and European paper wasps have gradually made their homes around our houses and fences and over the past few years and while they are useful for some unwanted bugs like the great white cabbage butterfly, unfortunately they aren't picky and have been feasting on our monarch butterfly caterpillar and other useful native bugs as well.

At Wasp Wipeout we are working hard to help raise funds to wipe out the most invasive species of wasps - the vespula (common and German) variety which inhabit a lot of our bush areas and regularly invade picnics and barbecues. To help us fight this species you can donate here

If you want to find out more about paper wasps, you can read the story and watch the video here
