THE infamous wasp that has plagued Alexandra Palace was finally caught after disrupting the Master's snooker on Tuesday.<br /><br />The bug has wreaked havoc at the World Darts Championship over the last few weeks.<br /><br />Teenage sensation Luke Littler appeared to be stung by the wasp, as was fellow arrowman Ross Smith.<br /><br />And the wasp left snooker star Jack Lisowski swinging his cue earlier this week as he attempted to swat it away.<br /><br />But it was removed once and for all on Tuesday night during Barry Hawkins' 6-3 win over Neil Robertson.<br /><br />Robertson, 41, was at the table in the seventh frame when the wasp flew onto the table.<br /><br />The Australian grabbed his glass and prepared to try and catch it himself.<br /><br />And he could be heard saying: "I'm from Australia, we have spiders, I'm used to it."<br /><br />But snooker referee Rob Spencer then took the glass from Robertson and proceeded to trap it with a newspaper.<br /><br />As he walked off and handed the glass to a member of staff, the Ally Pally crowd gave him a round of applause.<br /><br />And the incident led to much reaction on social media.<br /><br />One person said: "There was one at the darts last week too!! It's winter, where are these wasps coming from lol?"<br /><br />Another added: "Last thing I expected to see at today's snooker."<br /><br />A third replied: "There must be a wasp nest in Ally Pally. Darts lads getting stung and snooker lads trapping them ."<br /><br />While a fourth responded: "Alexandra Palace seems to be infested. "
