When I was little, I was out walking and a honeybee just came up and stung me on my hand. I didn't do anything to threaten it as far as I know (maybe it landed on my hand, I didn't know it, and I moved my hand around a lot or something). But, it attacked me anyway.
I had a wasp do that to me.
I knew it was a wasp, and I knew it'd probably land on me. However, I told myself the old line, "If you don't bother them, they'll leave you alone." It bit into my wrist.
That "Old Line" works about as good as it does with terrorists and communists.
Perhaps wasps ARE commies.
