While Boa and I machete’d through 7 km of Thalia today collecting bags filled with nothing, I was stung by a wasp on the lip. What hurts worse than that, however, is the fact that I haven’t take a single pictures in Costa Rica yet! I’ve been busy, hot and tired. Everything seems to take twice as long because the wetland vegetation is 5 times as thick.
So, in honor of the wasp next I destroyed today, here is a wasp found at Jennings’ Woods, with an incredible ovipositor/abdomen.
Hymenoptera love you. (How’s that for a neuroscientist?!I remembered from the book B. Foote gave me to read). Awwe, Baby J!
Pelecinus polyturator! A sting on the lip sounds painful. :(
Wow.
women get collagen to plump their lips….
Didn’t you pack the benadryl???
Ha! They could get cheap plastic surgery and honey if they just kept a bee hive.
Of course I didn’t pack the benadryl or the Tylenol you gave me.
