Well since this thread has been revived, I'd like to share something that happened yesterday:
It had rained the day before and the weather was perfect for anting. So I take an aspirator, some vials, and a couple of test tubes. kneeling on the side of the sidewalk when a wasp that appeared to be the size of a frickin humming bird flew right in my face. Luckily, it was not actually that big (only looked that way because it was two centimeters away from my face) and it was a cicada killer not a wasp (luckily I'm pretty sure cicada killers aren't dangerous even though they have a menacing name). I ended up tripping and rolling around like an idiot. I got myself together and continued to catch queens. a few minutes later, some random car honked at me. It scared the life out of me and for the second time in 10 minutes, I found myself tripping around and looking like I was trying to do Michael Jackson moves. by the time I was back on my feet I decided to take the queens I did catch home because my brain at that point felt like it was doing backflips.
Also, as I'm typing I am being eaten alive by mosquitos that manage to get in the house.
