On my shirt right now -looks kind of like this. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! s been landing on my arms, on the cube walls, and even came back in after a co-worker tried to take her outside. I think she thinks she’s my friend now. Tiny little wasp, I’m not so sure it’s meant to be - for one, that parasitic egg thing is kind of creepy.

I admit to having no idea what it wants. Does my brown polo smell like caterpillar for some insane reason? Or a mate?

There are big fat bumble bees that keep bumping into me outside on the deck of our office trailer it’s getting annoying.

This has passed annoying all the way to creepy. The big bumble bees I’d assume have wood nearby to bore into, but this one little tiny wasp... she flies off, then comes back, sits for a couple minutes on my arm, waves her wings, flies off again... WHAT DO YOU WANT WHAT THE FUCK... THERE ARE NO APHIDS OR CATERPILLARS ON MY ARM WHAT IS YOUR DEAL

I agree with ttyymmnn, kill it with fire. What parasitic egg thing?

But if you like creepy crawlies, I’ve got some photos of some cool spiders in this photo dump I posted a couple of days ago. http://photography.kinja.com/spring-has-spr…

Heh. Are they those giant ones that are solid black and kind of have a blue sheen to them? I love those. They always look too fat to fly and just a little drunk.

Ichneumon family wasps (ichneumons and braconids) lay their eggs in other insects. That’s what that insanely long ovipositor is all about. They carry a virus that fucks up the hosts immune system, lay eggs, and the baby wasplets devour the host from inside. Classy.

These are fuzzy fat black and yellow ones. They buzz around you and then hover stationary until you move and then they just barrel into you. I suspect they are drunk.

It’s like a known enemy agent under surveillance. I’m afraid to capture and summarily execute because I don’t know what it’s up to.

Thought you said “something bacon something something” then read the post.

1- I am displeased with your lack of Bacon coverage
2- I think she has a crush on you!
