I usually don't get stung. I leave them alone, they leave me alone. But it was early and they were just coming out - I figure they were still lethargic. These things have taken up residence in the post that my front gate latches to. I'm certain they're ground dwelling because they come and go from this hole. What are they?
I can plug the hole when they're all in there - not sure if they have another exit. I'll arrange NOT to be there when they might emerge mad. Just want to know who I'm dealing with.
There are A LOT of different flying guys shaped like this here, all with different markings. The second one that got me this morning was a rusty colored one that was apparently riding on the leg of my shorts until I squatted on the ground and trapped it between there and my big fat belly. THAT one hurt more than the stripey one. Still hurts a little...... Not used to getting stung. It's been at least one decade if not plural decades......
