They all creep me out! I almost wrecked my car with my elderly aunt as a passenger. A bee flew in the window and I flipped. Scared her so bad she never got in a car with me again. Poor lady! 🤣🤣🤣 🐝

Terrified of them all! I had an infestation of the cicada killers on my property a year or two ago and I’ve never seen anything more frightening than those guys, they’re very aggressive. I have an insect phobia, it’s so irrational I think I need therapy. I run screaming and flailing from anything that can sting.

I’m thinking that the only problem is I don’t want to get close enough to figure out which kind it is.

I don't care if they have yellow stripes or not...they're all pretty scary looking to me.

I love bees! They are beautiful. Please don’t harm them. We need them badly.

Even the Paper Wasp are useful, They assist in pollination, théy feed on other insects, including caterpillars, flies, and beetle larvae. Paper wasps won't bother people unless someone disturbs their nests. They bite, but they don't have a stinger. We have a lot of paper wasps around here.

I am a city girl and try to stay away from bees. With that said, a group of us went to a local farm where you can pick your own fruit and veggies. They were interested in raspberries and guess who was abuzzing?

I ain't going in there - so I was where they weren't there. NO - you have to pick them where they are -cuz they know where the sweet ones are.

Yep - near the buzzers were deep red and so so sweet. After a while, I forgot they were there and reached in and plucked as they were busy doing their jobs to be bothered with me. They flew in and out and all around and I was comfortable with them.

I know that doesn't sound anythng amazing....but for me, it was a beautiful sweet memory. Gosh, off the vine sweet is nothing like from a supermarket. Guess that can be said of anything fresh from the earth.

@Grouchomarx I run and scream, too! I am petrified of these things! I had a problem with wasps a couple of years ago. They managed to find a spot in the house siding to get into and worked their way into the house! They were coming out of the bathroom exhaust fans and through the holes on the inside of the house where the water pipes come out. They were on every floor of the house, even the basement. I even found a couple of dead ones in the washing machine. It was awful not being able to relax in my own house! Luckily I was able to find where they were getting in on the outside so I just sprayed and sprayed at dusk and then ran into the house like a wild woman! I definitely needed therapy after that horrifying experience. HATE HATE HATE those critters! 😡

@Yahooey I'd rather buy the less sweet ones from the grocery store thank you very much. The only way I'm hand-pickin' those berries is in a hazmat suit! You are braver than me!

Dear woman how did you survive???? I cannot imagine. I get terrified if stupid flies get inside. Like someone has done witchcraft on me or something. I cannot imagine wasps indoors. I’d surely pass out and die,

I think these bees also had a chart on what part of me to sting.😂

They said okay go in and take out a chunk ofl leg.🐝

I am not afraid of bees,though I have been stung twice..Once on my lower lip and one time on my arm pit.

What I hate is horse fly's. I was bitten by one once. It hurt really bad and caused blood to drip down my arm. I avoid them at all costs.

Wasps are pretty scary too. They are super mean and kill honey bees. Never been stung by one though.

thanks for the chart. That was helpful.

@Grouchomarx If I remember correctly, I think the Margaritas helped me get through it. 🍹🍹🍹 I'm like you though........anything that has wings and flies and makes a buzzing noise will freak me out. Then out comes the Raid and Jose Cuervo! LOL!

@Pqfan I think they are required to take human anatomy lessons and military training of some sort!
