[QUOTE="Richard Burley, post: 368707, member: 1690"] In my experience paper wasps and mud daubers are the least aggressive of stinging insects. I'm not saying they're affable or loveable, but it's amazing what you can do to them without being attacked. I knew an old guy that used to pick them up by their wings and chase us kids around, the stinger writhing around, looking deadly. When released, they would just fly away as if nothing had happened. Hornets are another matter, as my brother could tell you. His house was infested with these huge white and black "bassards" and required professional killers to eliminate. They had bored into some of the woodwork and didn't take kindly to even being watched. Scary, and the way they go right for your eyes is almost admirable, in a warped sort of way. [/QUOTE]
