[QUOTE=smurfy;36113119]I've never been stung by a bee or a wasp
I live in constant fear

I genuinely had a nightmare about it once[/QUOTE]
It's overrated.
A badly scratched knee is worse.
A selective virus needs to be made that kills Wasps, hornets, pigeons and fucking seagulls.

I got stung twice on the side of the head, it stung enough for it to go numb

Wow! Interesting

I know the male carpenter bee doesn't have a stinger.
lol I remember when I was a kid I used to catch wasps and put them inside my Dad's vacuum chamber that he used for jewellery. It was so satisfying to watch the pressure gauge slowly drop to a near vacuum and watch as they spaz out like crazy due to the pressure change. Those fuckers deserve it.

Holy shit I loved doing that exact same type of shit, though usually to wingless insects
[QUOTE=mac338;36112947]Bees are total bros.
Wasps are the dicks here, bees are cuddly and don't sting you and give you flowers and various plants and honey and shit. Wasps just fuck you up, and they fuck those bees up too.[/QUOTE]

Looks fairly long-haired to me. Anyway, this is cool. Bees and Daddy-long legs are the most hilarious insects ever.
Well it's not really extinct now is it?
[QUOTE=Bat-shit;36127132]Well it's not really extinct now is it?[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Lankist;36113163]Extinction has various levels.
There can be localized extinctions, extinction in the wild (i.e. only surviving members are in captivity) and complete extinction.
For instance, if bees are extinct in your area, that might seem like an exaggeration, but your entire local ecosystem is going to suffer for it. When a species goes extinct in any given area, every organism that is dependent upon it will decline as well.[/QUOTE]
It's not completely extinct now is it? It's not!

nobody said it was
it was locally extinct in the UK.
[QUOTE=Gmod4ever;36114547]I stepped on a yellow-jacket when I was five years old. I was bare-foot.
It stung my big toe.
One of these fuckers right here.

And every summer we have two yellow-jacket nests - one right where I park my truck, and one right under the eave of our house, right in front of the front door.
I hate yellow-jackets.
If it wasn't for my dad's experiment with yellow-jackets in his youth, I would douse their nests in gasoline and light them on fire.
[sp]My dad did that when he was kid, and does not recommend it. You didn't just have pissed-off wasps flying at you trying to sting you - you get pissed-off FLAMING wasps flying at you trying to sting you.[/sp][/QUOTE]
Sounds like you felt....

WD40 actually melts the wings off bees and others insects, causing them to fall onto the ground and be completely harmless. My dad uses it as a cheap bug spray/

No. These fuckers are like the Joker of the animal kingdom. They are completely unpredictable and this makes them terrifying in my opinion.
[QUOTE=soderholm13;36113026]I agree, fuck wasps, can't even have the windows open during spring / summer because wasps just have to go "FUCK YOU I'M GONNA FUCK YOUR SHIT AND SENSE THIS TINY FUCKING WINDOW OPENING HAH SUCK IT".
automerge why[/QUOTE]
Wasps always seem to fly straight through the open window with perfect aim, and then spend 15 minutes bouncing off the glass when trying to get out. Argh.
