I may be the only person in the whole who doesn't mind wasps.
Okay, exaggeration (please please let me be special and unique! please) But the first time I was stung I was in bed and didn't know about it until the morning when the big fat wasp fell out of my bed. It was nowhere near as bad as an ant bite. I've never worried about being stung since. I'm not saying I'd sleep in that bed though. I'm crazy, not stupid. |

I think of wasps as those longer things with hangy-downy legs, when they fly. They can sting over and over. A bee stings you, it be dead. I've been stung by many a bee but I've never been stung by a wasp. And they build nests around here. Knock on wood.
I looked up wasp images in google images, and I had to go to 'mud dauber' to find the pic of what I'm talking about. I guess what I think of as wasps are those. They build those flute-like nests. Or some woodwind instrument. That creeps me out the most, and there are tons of them around here. Things with holes creep me out. I found out from an article in Scientific American Mind (the only magazine I buy off rack) that's actually a 'thing'...like holey ceiling tiles and stuff...can't stand that. http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...raid-of-holes/ |

If 'special' means 'making me laugh' then yes, yes you are going to hell.

I hate those mud daubers. I had one bild a nest right on the shaft of the heater blower in my camper and I didn't know it until the winter got cold enough to freeze the water pipes and drop the power lines, thus rendering my house unliveable. I retreated to my camper, flipped on the heat and zap, fuse blown. I replaced the fuse and promptly blew it again. Several hours of exploration and some salty language later, I got the heater unit out and disassembled enough to find said mud nest jamming the motor. I was not happy, but did get the unit going again once I reassembled it and got it back into it's home. Little bastards!

Firefighters rescue couple after hornets nest fell through ceiling
Firefighters say they launched rescue after a large nest containing more than one hundred hornets crashed through the ceiling Quote:
I've only ever knowingly seen a Hornet on a couple of occasions. A few years ago I was looking after some horses and was checking over a brood mare for lumps, bumps, cuts etc, when I noticed a hornet under her belly. In those circumstances they often attempt to rid themselves of the offender by bringing up a hind hoof to kick it away. Alternatively, they'll make a run for it and flatten you in the process. Now, I'm not the most athletic of blokes, but being tall and on the thin side it does enable me to remove myself from the scene PDQ. Accordingly I put considerable distance between me and the mare in an impressively short space of time. There is no point in becoming older if you don't become any wiser. |

The bald faced hornet is the one I ain't fucken with. I'll slap a wasp or a dauber out of the air, and cut it in half with scissors, then mount its head on a toothpick to ward off his kin.

Gee, you would think the Daily Telegraph would have said how the hornets got into the bedroom.
BTW, Dr. Schmidt is looking for volunteer sting raters: http://scienceblogs.com/retrospectac...x-which-sting/ |
