I'm not too keen on wasps since one managed to find its way inside my jacket while I was riding my motorbike - it stung me on the chest about five or six times before I could pull over and squash it :mad:

That grill thing (what ever its called) is 9mm or so... God that is a big wasp.

(I couldn't see it, as the sun is on the monitor so edited the brightness poorly.)

Why don't you just put it in your blender, Holly?

Queen or Hornet.
Just roll up a newspaper and squash it. The worst it can do is sting you and the worst that can happen after that is that you have an alergic reaction and die painfully. I guess it might eat you afterwards as well or make a hive in your skull.....

It is certainly a biggy though lol, run for your life....

You'd have to close your windows and doors then. Apparently if you kill wasps and bees they burst a load of pheramones into the surrounding air. Ones that others of it's kind read as "I'm being attacked - KILL KILL!!!!!"

until my kids get stung we dont know if either of them are allergic to them so ive gotta terminate them preety quick.

That's a bit harsh, surely you shouldn't have stuck it in if you didn't want children?

holly35 · 4 Jun 2006 at 12:21

Only if you're lucky. The rest of the time they chew your arms off after paralysing you with their laser vision.
A hornet sting hurts like merry hell though, FAR worse than a bee or wasp.

Its due to the different type of alkali in the sting iirc.

And the inch long barbed spear they jab into you which is so thick you could polevault with it.
