There are many different kinds of wasps. Some are nasty vicious things. The sand wasps that I have around here are very gentle and have never offered to sting even when I petted them.

Paper wasps are a different story.

Yeah, I can't think of any nice names to call the wasps we have. They're big, deep red, and rude!

Honestly, I have no idea. His dam was a Thoroughbred, but I’m going to have to look through some papers.

Oh, it's ok. He is gorgeous.

No Snappy...just...no. I will become Snow White of the spiders before I snuggle a copperhead. lol

See, I make up for the spider hate with some snake love. I used to have several as pets. Not the copperhead though... I let that one go!

A wasp flew into my mouth, stung me in the throat, and flew back out...gentle isn't exactly how I would describe its approach to shutting me up.

Um OWW!!

How in the world do you pet something that tiny without squishing it?

I love all non-venomous snakes. Copperheads can take a hike with our big red nefarious wasps. lol

Those are some healthy looking hens!

Thank you!

But they are so gentle.

Not around here. That looked suspiciously like a yellow jacket.
I don’t remember what you called it in a later post, that was overshadowed when you said you pet them *shudder*

Sand wasp

Some of them are as much as 2" long.
