Accidentally brushed one a few months ago and it felt as though I was poked with a burning coal. Oh so painful and for days my hand looked like a blown up latex glove. Beware of this booger!

In Spain we have processionary caterpillars that can kill pets and make small children seriously ill.

This is why the illegals all come to CA. We don’t have insects.

That one is raising a lot of parasitic wasps, and will die. Good riddance.

Got stung by one of those bad boys about ten years ago. He was on the arm rest of a lawn chair. I didn’t see him and I set my arm on him when I sat down.

About like a bee sting, except that is was sore for days afterward.

“She looks like a nursing home occupant.”


The funny thing about your comment is that the site where I found this labeled the photo as...

...wait for it...

...”Nursing Home Escapee”

The wasps found that one. So much for defensive spines.
