WASPS!!!! šŸ Little B@$T@RDS

Wasps are little b@stards but I still refuse to kill them. I've only been stung once as an adult. Doesn't hurt that much. A mate of mine decided to set fire to a wasps nest when we were kids. Bad idea. Had the whole lot of them after us. I got stung about twenty times when we were running away.
 
Many years ago I was riding my Beemer GS over the Hampshire Downs, when a wasp got into my crash helmet and went on a stinging spree down my neck. If anyone witnessed it, it probably looked hilarious me trying to ride with one hand whilst wrestling with my visor with the other. By ā€˜eck that was a sore experience, on antihistamines for a week after that episode.

Oh yeah? well you try being the middle child in a family of 200,000 then get back to me.

On a lighter note, wasps do have their uses. From the BBC site:-

"Wasps are also just important in the environment. Social wasps are predators and as such they play a vital ecological role, controlling the numbers of potential pests like greenfly and many caterpillars.
Indeed, it has been estimated that the social wasps of the UK might account for 14 million kilograms of insect prey across the summer. A world without wasps would be a world with a very much larger number of insect pests on our crops and gardens.
As well as being voracious and ecologically important predators, wasps are increasingly recognised as valuable pollinators, transferring pollen as they visit flowers to drink nectar."

I wouldnā€™t mind a big wasp with a seat on it! Iā€™d ride one to work
 
My uncle thought it would be a good idea to ride over a wasps nest on our bikes. I was only 9 so knew no better. Got stung 4 times, which did hurt. The worst part though was my nan putting me in a TCP bath. Makes me feel sick just thinking about that smell šŸ¤®šŸ¤®šŸ¤®
 
Currently in Perth and just had to brush away a cheeky redback spider. It responded well to the brush and scuttled back to its own area. Suspect it was female as a bit bigger so took no chances.
 
I had a wasp as a bass player once. It was problematic. I've never headbutted a wasp. I only ever do that to horses, and that's for their own good. My appearance spooks them. The venom in my horns is just enough to make a horse all sleepy. I have nothing against horses but they are really racist. They hate my people. It was one biscuit. I was trying to do that horse a favour and it was nearly fifty years ago. They should have forgiven us by now, but they won't.
 
One of the b***ds got into bed with me at the end of last summer and stung me.

i jumped out with a masculine battle cry (anyone who says it was a high pitched shriek is lying) then bravely left the room in an orderly fashion looking for further intruders while leaving the wife to finish off the one I'd already softened up for her.

exactly how it happened.
