There I was.......squirting koppertox on a steers sore foot. I was knelt down in front of the hydraulic squeeze chute in the stance a guy uses when squirting koppertox on a steers sore foot. I started hearing a buzzin and a hissin and thought my bottle o koppertox musta been getting low. Then suddenly I noticed a shadow cast upon my location like a flyin saucer makes when it’s about to abduct a fella. Then there was a thump thump thumpin happening on the side of my right knee. I looked at my right knee and what did I see?? The goshdarndest hugest biggly thang was tryin to take my knee plum off! He was a buzzin and a barkin and I’m pretty sure he was trying to do that twirkin thing that ya might see in one of those rapper videoes ya know. I immediately felt comforted cuz all this murderous creatures best efforts were being defeated thanks to my Duluth Trading Company Firehose pants in the color brown but I’m sure the blue ones are just as good but maybe not so you might just buy the brown ones cuz I haven’t tested the blue ones and dunno if this life threatening situation will ever happen while I’m wearing the blue ones but if it does happen while I’m wearing the blue ones I’ll let y’all know if the blue ones work like the brown ones which I know work. Anyhow, with pantherlike reflexes but calmly like an oak tree I removed my ballcap and whacked this somitch off my knee. That one good whack laid him out pretty good. Then I grabbed a used 16 gauge by 1” long needle and impaled the attempted murdering being. So here’s the deal....I’m ok and I ain’t skeered. I’m feeling confident in my ability to defend myself unless it’s a crazy lady runnin from demons (not all y’all will get that reference. Maybe I’ll tell that story someday to the rest of y’all) but can y’all identify this creature. I first though it were a murder hornet but I ain’t sure the head is the right color. I’ve got him here in the house if y’all need more pics. I’m thinking about mounting him up next to the tv. He’s prolly 2-3 times the size of the usual red wasp. What is this thang? Any y’all a bugeotologist or know someone studyin bugeotolocology?
