When all of a sudden a sharp sting in my foot made me look down and what did I see there?!?! A wasp! Hanging on to my foot for dear life. I was NOT happy. I'm terrified of having an allergic reaction to a wasp or bee sting. So I freaked out (my dog looked at me like I was a looney tune). *sigh*
Ironically we just studied wasps in science yesterday. I think this one was a digger. On a side note, see my toenails? My youngest painted them yesterday while I was reading Little Women aloud. 😊
See the picture below? We watched a silkworm/caterpillar (*not sure what it was) crawl back up it's piece of silk thread - it was balling it up as it went (can you see it?). We stood under that tree for a long time, completely enchanted with that little guy.
I was not enchanted with the wasp though.
We have yellow jackets in our backyard. I try to have a live and let live attitude with them but when they get aggressive on the porch, it is time to get the spray out!
