She is a trash princess. I have a soft spot for these crabby desperate bugs.

@futurebird One time while eating pizza outside we were getting harassed by a yellow jacket. I put down a crumb of sausage and she grabbed it and flew away

Yellow Jacket “trash princess” halloween costume idea;

* big dark fashion sunglasses
* yellow and black fake LV purse
* can of 4loko
* floppy black pigtails
* leopard print skin-suit
* sharp stiletto heels
* lots of attitude
* plastic bag full of crumpled newspaper and fashion magazine scraps (nesting material)
* tasteful plastic tiara

You catch her digging through the trash but then somehow *she* ends up yelling at you for this happening.

When they collect protein it is for their babies. They mostly only each sugar.

Two weeks ago I was working in my mother-in-law's yard and disturbed a nest of yellowjackets under her steps. I ran inside, escaped into her bathroom and locked myself in, carrying 16 of them with me and continuing to get stung. All healed up now, but no soft spot for them at the moment.

@snork303 understandable.

@futurebird I wasn't paying attention last week eating a sandwich outside and felt something sharp in my mouth. Confusing but my mouth reacted violently spitting it all out and lo.. a yellow jacket. Second time lately they reminding me slow down pay attention.

I'm really off ballance

@futurebird How can you tell it was a hard day?

She was in the middle of a kickball game on a sports field.

She HATES kickball.
