this fuck stung the back of my head last week for the sin of taking out the trash.

Was out for a week for work. Got back to my front door and got attacked by a nest that had been made while I was out. I relished nuking them.

I've been stung by wasps dozens of times. Never been stung by a bee. I say hello to bumble bees. Wasps get none such niceties from me. Except for tarantula hawks. Those guys are way too fucking big not to doff my hat when in presence.

Agreed! I got stung once for the sin of stopping to look at a cute rabbit on a trail. Little fucker just stung my hand for no reason as I stood there. Fuck those guys. And I love insects!
