Warm wasp

This wasp appeared in my kitchen early this morning (8 Dec 2012). A queen Common Wasp I think, over-wintering in relative warmth in order to start a new colony next spring. After photographing her (perched on my ceiling clothes-drier or 'pulley') I left her in peace. Hands up all who think I should have swatted her.
