Wasn't that Squisher who's dog knocked a front tooth out?
Wasn't that Squisher who's dog knocked a front tooth out?
Found a Giant Asian hornet's nest in the ivy about eight feet from the door of my shop. Trimming branches, a few seriously buzzed me before i realized what was happening. I felt the wind from one right across my mouth, don't know if it was taking a swipe or not. I hit it with some gasoline before going home. It was late in the day, I suspect that they were mostly in there. I can't get stung again. I posted in the news thread about these critters currently causing some havoc in China. They are seriously dangerous, with venom that melts flesh. The pain from a sting is like getting walloped with a bat, and the itching afterward from infection will drive you mad. Resistance is low or an allergic response, you maybe die. Pretty large nest, never noticed any activity before.
