Yours is a female and they are the ones to watch out for because of the reputation of their sting.

Well done and what an interesting insect. Hopefully someone on the macro section will feature it soon.

Wow. I don't know how they could do that either. The things women go through for beauty.


Queen Elizabeth I (UK) died from poisoning that came from the makeup she used.

Thanks Sippy. I believe the males have wings also whereas the females are stuck walking.

Thanks Roger. I did post these same pictures in the macro section but sooner or later maybe one of the macro experts will come across one and post.

I believe lead was once a component of makeup. Of coarse until about 45 years ago we had lead based paint for our kids bedrooms and plumbing solder was 50% lead.
