re: #404 Walter L. Newton

The only insects and/or bugs that really bother me is flying stinging insects. That would be my Room 101. Snakes, spiders, whatever, no problem… bees, hornets, wasps… I scream like a little kid.

Up here, we are high enough not to get many wasps, except yellow jackets (fucking yellow jackets could survive on the moon)… we also get what know as “sweat bees” (don’t know the actual name), they are very small, very docile bees, rarely will sting unless trapped or something like that.

Their bite is very painful and they are relentless
