Here’s one of the chief reasons to hate summer, right here. I would eradicate wasps from the face of the earth if I could. And this is one of the small ones— we also get the vespa orientalis. Let me tell you… they are numerous, and they are aggressive. The stuff of nightmares. They’re very weird about what they consider “their” territory, so sometimes even walking down the street can earn you an attack. Emirhan got stung by one a couple of years ago while he was sleeping. He was in pain for nearly a week.
Ugh, and don’t even get me started on palmetto bugs.
