More than a big red wasp. Less than a cow killer. Best description I can give is imagine getting stung by 6 really angry bees with the full dose of venom. But the pain is sharper and hotter. They must die then. Eh? Why? They don’t move around that much and they’re really cool looking. Just look before you grab or lean or sit. They’re not after you. It takes less than a second to check. Hell doesn't have squat on them bast*rds This is why!^^^^^ I should wait till they change into winged versions, then catch them and pull off their wings…then smush them.

I don’t want to use the flash and startle them awake, but. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/11/full-36844-160224-c7e94758_595b_40f3_9399_0591c9780cfd.jpeg) They’re on the top rung of this shelf. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/11/full-36844-160225-4cec3c3d_48b6_40d7_b3c5_4c0f526f1a0e.jpeg) I cleaned around them, moved the whole shelf, cleaned under where it was, and then put it back. No problems. I’ve been moving plants in and out of that door all day long. No problems. I want live predators in my greenhouse through the winter so I don’t have to worry about using pesticides. Just because they are able to defend themselves doesn’t mean they can’t be neighbors. Hell, I used that green leaf blower in the picture on that shelf because I can’t reach it and it needed cleaned off.

I had a nest by my front door that I was going to leave until one decided to sting me. It was gone after that!

It's just a bug. Leave it alone or sqush it.

Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,

I already got hit this year...since then I've found three more out in the open. Got stung trimming a hedge when reaching in to pull out piece I cut off. Yowzers! No bueno senorita. Wear gloves.

Pay real close attention around oaks this time of year. I stole from one of my bug / plant groups, but…. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2022/11/full-36844-160201-e5078eab_0745_4554_9d00_29c79f491715.jpeg) Been there, done that! Stepped on one bare footed -- hurt really bad!!!
