The Ally-Pally Wasp is a well-known phenomenon at the Darts World Championship held at Alexandra Palace in London. Since 2012, a wasp has repeatedly appeared during matches, often landing on players, shirts, and sometimes causing disruptions. The legend grew as fans and commentators noted its frequent appearances, with some believing it to be the same wasp returning year after year, and even becoming an unofficial mascot with its own social media presence. However, entomological facts suggest that it is biologically impossible for a single wasp to survive over a decade, as wasps typically live only a few weeks. The repeated appearances are more likely due to multiple wasps or the same species inhabiting the historic building, which offers suitable hiding and overwintering conditions. The winter appearances are particularly puzzling, but they could be explained by queen waswas waking early from hibernation due to the warm indoor environment and the heat generated by the event. The phenomenon has become part of the tournament folklore, with various theories about the wasp's origin and persistence, but it remains a myth rooted in the environment of Alexandra Palace rather than biological reality.
