## Caption

Darts star Jurjen van der Velde took matters into his own hands with the Ally Pally wasp as he brought bug killer onto the stage for his debut match. The famous bug has made headlines this year more than ever with its attacks on players, including defending champion Luke Littler, who was left ducking and diving during his post-match interview following his win on opening night. Ross Smith also came into contact with the wasp on Friday, with the creature seen on the back of his shirt two years after it stung him on stage. Back in 2023, Smith was stung while on stage in the middle of a match before once again being joined by the pest in his post-match interview. 'There's the wasp,' he said at the time. 'He's just done me, he's just stung me. Little b*****d.' Van der Velde, however, came prepared for his match with Danny Noppert, arriving with Raid fly and wasp killer and spraying it as he arrived on stage. The Dutchman, 23, drew a laugh from the crowd, with the wasp appearing to leave the duo alone from then on. #darts #allypally #wasp #long #worlddartschampionship
