Spike ,'Sleeper'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
And - in an abrupt change of subject - Susan, you may have carpenter bees.
Would those be some kind of house-destroying bees? Not too worried, because the two from yesterday weren't super-near the house, more at the edge of the road, where the car and the mailbox live. And they weren't bumblebee shaped, but much more like a honeybee or a yellow jacket.
Carpenter bees, at least the ones I have seen, are big and fuzzy looking compared to honeybees. there are quite a few flies that mimic bees in appearance, you might have some of those, too.
Definitely not it. They were probably honeybees--kinda skinny, and with a sort of all-over yellow and black stripe pattern.
We have carpenter bees around my apartment. They're kinda not horrible. I'm terrified of bees/wasps/hornets, but I can watch a carpenter bee from a few yards away and keep my fear response to a minimum.
Skinny bee says fly mimic to me. [link]
Still haven't seen anything that looked just like it, though the honeybee was the closest.
I'm going to assume that any buzzy creature shaped anything like a bee, wasp, hornet, or yellow jacket can sting me. I'd rather be scared unnecessarily of a fly than get stung, because, OW!
shakes her pom poms
With the way that looks in italics, I was certain this said "shakes her porn porns." And I thought, 'Whatever works.'
Huh, I'd never heard of the fly mimic. That's cool.
My dad used to be allergic to bees (he claims he was injected with powdered bee bodies to get rid of it. I don't know if that is true, but it's a good story), so we were hyper alert for bee presence growing up. My mom could always tell the mimics. I still don't know how.
