cm0002Billionaire Sunjay Kapur has died after swallowing a bee at a polo match
PhilipTheBucketI was once on a farm, laughing at something, and a horsefly came up and bit me on the tongue.
I had no idea why it happened, still don’t, but it was one of the worst things that had ever happened to me at that point in my life.
ToastedRavioliI got a cabin out in Shenandoah one time by Luray, and all the bugs out there are frickin massive.
I’m outside making bbq, having a mikes hard lemonade of some kind. Grab my bottle, take a swig, and suddenly I have what feels like a wet piece of carpet halfway in my mouth.
So I pull the bottle away from my face and lo and behold the most massive hornet I have ever seen in my life plops down and hits the ground. Little guy was drunk as all hell after taking a swim and thankfully didnt sting me when I had his ass in my mouth
WesDym@ToastedRavioli Might have been a cicada killer, a kind of very large wasp that lives in much of the Eastern US. (Wherever there's both cicadas and sandy soil.) The males are smaller, but still quite large, and cannot sting. (They will still charge you, however, to try to scare you away.) Females are larger, but avoid humans and are not often seen, despite their size. Females can sting, but usually won't; they're pretty docile, as wasps go. But they look scary.
