this one time, at band camp....

I was rock climbing and fought with a Cicada Killer while 20 feet up. I lost my grip, and fell the whole goddamn way down. For those of you who don't know what these god forsaken bastards are, here is one with an envelope for size reference.



Cicada Killer: 1
Me: 0

But no seriously. That's a true story.

Afterward, I found out they rarely sting, and sometimes even allow themselves to be handled.  

Goddamn it. Fuck bees.

You're ready for bigger prey. Giant asian hornet? I think.



We have something similar to that picture around here, except its bright orange..Maybe a European hornet? Pretty rare but you know to dive to the bottom of the pool and hold your breath and hope its gone when you pop back up lol

I had one of those japanese hornets fly into my car while doing 60mph in rush hour traffic on an unfamiliar stretch of highway that was a nightmare of construction barrels and concrete barriers. It came through the window and immediately disappeared somewhere in my car. All I could hear was an enraged buzzing coming from god-knows-where.

Scary as fuck.

Unless you live in Japan, it wasn't a Japanese Giant Hornet. The ginormotron bee in the US is the same bug that DaVinci was talking about, the Cicada Killer. Fuckers get like 2 inches long. They always scared the shit out of me as a kid... Well, they still do, really.





Huh... Apparently they're not dangerous though:

Quote:

Although cicada killers are large, female cicada killer wasps are not aggressive and rarely sting unless they are grasped roughly, stepped upon with bare feet, or caught in clothing, etc. One author who has been stung indicates that, for him, the stings are not much more than a "pinprick"[2]. Males aggressively defend their perching areas on nesting sites against rival males but they have no sting. Although they appear to attack anything which moves near their territories, male cicada killers are actually investigating anything which might be a female cicada killer ready to mate. Such close inspection appears to many people to be an attack, but male and female cicada killers don't land on people and attempt to sting. If handled roughly females will sting, and males will jab with a sharp spine on the tip of their abdomen. Both sexes are well equipped to bite, as they have large jaws; however, they don't appear to grasp human skin and bite. They are non-aggressive towards humans and usually fly away when swatted at, instead of attacking. Cicada killers exert a natural control on cicada populations and thus may directly benefit the deciduous trees upon which their cicada prey feed.
