So what did you do today?

[Jon1212]

Did a pre clean on the Husqvarna 61 before I take it apart to replace the missing large A/V buffers. I also got a saw boxed up, and ready to send off to TN(not Mastermind).

Worked then started tearing down an engine for a generator rebuild project.

Got stung while evicting a hornet's nest but I got about thirty of the little fukkers so I guess we're even.

Still recovering from a ground hornet sting on thursday. Note the sweet cankle. Believe it or not, the swelling has gone down significantly

What is a ground hornet?

What is a ground hornet?

Thats what theyre called up here anyway. Some type of hornet that nests in the ground. Was digging baby's breath (invasive plant) and got whacked.

I googled it. Looks like in size of the bowwater hornets we have down here. I wouldn't want to tangle with one

I feel your pain bud. I have a finger that probably ain't gonna work so good tomorrow.

Those ground hornet's are nasty. A good pile of Sevin dust right on the hole will get rid of em in a hurry though.

Yeah, i hightailed it outta there like a little girl, not sure i could locate the nest again, nor would i want to

They introduced them to kill the pine Beatles around here years ago from what I understand. Sounds like a dragonfly going around

Got some of them between two of my deck posts in the ground. I'll be spraying that hole with a fresh can of whoop a$$!

Saw one of these last year right next to me. Bout sh!t my pants. Did some googling and it's called a cicada killer. About 3 times the size of a wasp, but harmless to humans

[T.Roller]

What we have are Japanese Hornets but everyone here calls them bowwater hornets cause bowwater introduced them

Spose I should've said "mostly" harmless to humans. Didn't matter. I took off outta there like a little girl too

 

[beaglebriar]

I about sh!t the first time I saw one. They're a weird bug. Attracted to light. Dang things wake up in the middle of the night to buzz the post light.
