I've had them land on me and if you remain still they will realize you are nothing of interest and fly away. At least outside. But inside is another story. They seem to get disoriented and get into a bad mood.

I agree, in the house... they die

sorry, not going to try to capture a live wasp and set it free outside...

now a bumble bee... I may try to save.

I now have visions of Sean standing in the yard and very loudly proclaiming his non-floral nature while the neighbors call the psych ward.

On a related note my wife is wigged out by any flying insect but especially by bees/wasps. We held a backyard b-day party for our daughter where a bunch of her friends came over to swim in the pool. While Teri and I sat in chairs to supervise a wasp came by right in front of her. She screamed and then HIT ME like I called the wasp out just to frighten here! 10 years later and I still give her crap about it.

I am a flower............



ehhh......... where are my meds?

there's no meds for LSD, you'll have to wait for it to wear out

p.s. it's ok to kill wasps, bees NO no

I must have took the wrong pill from the little box by the door in chat....

Blame it on digitalpharoah . . . . .

or the boogie

GREAT STORY (and rather freaky) Mr. Meaty!

Well.... we capture spiders and bees/wasps in a glass cup with a piece of THICK cardboard to seal them in until we can get them outside.

I do offer up this comment to them as I set about catching them "Try to run or bit me, and I'll SQUASH THE LIVING SH*T OUT OF YOU. So be REAL NICE, sit still, and let me gently transport you to the far side of our balcony."

They usually play along. I think it is the part about "SQUASH THE LIVING SH*T" that gets their attention.

I thought that's what you said to the door-to-door salesman that came by.

They hear me talking to the spiders and bugs and they just DON'T knock on my door no more!!!

Most WASPs live to about 72 for males and 76 for females. Catholics and Jews seem to have a shorter life span, probably due to guilt. Squishing any of their heads is a no no!

etc.

You people obviously know nothing about wasps. Wasps have the uncanny ability to dislodge their body from their head and grow a new one within the next 24 hours. It's a little known fact, but one that every wasp killer should be aware of.

The problem with this body re-generation is that the new body is not always that of a wasp. The head picks up whatever DNA is lying around within its "feelers'" reach and uses it to build its new body. It's important to remember that if you ever decapitate a wasp, make sure you're not sweating....
