Just check any coats hanging in your shed before you put them on, faz.

From personal experience I can say that they don't like being disturbed in the spring when an arm is forced down a sleeve!!

I found a wasp hibernating outside in with a small bit of moss covering her which was frozen in the big freeze up last year, when Spring arrived I brought her in to have a look at her, and as she warmed up she started to move, so she had survived right through the winter with very little cover in freezing conditions, they are amazing creatures.
