    I've cycled into a swarm, thankfully it was reasonably spread out, but still got stung a lot

    @Paekakboyz think it's been mentioned before, but Wasps are cnuts, most pointless organism on this planet!

    Thats big, the ones I have dealt with were about 1.5ft by 1ft, and that was scary enough, they will chase you if you piss them off enough.

    The coming swarm | New Zealand Geographic

    Every summer, a plague of wasps gathers, ruining picnics, harassing trampers and disrupting ecosystems. Wasps outcompete bees for food, costing New Zealand about $130 million each year in loss of honey and pasture crops. Where wasps abound, biodiversity suffers: butterflies disappear, songbirds...

    On a related note I suggest you mofo's check out the Brave Wilderness youtube channel

    Dude with the pretty lame name of Coyote Peterson gets purposely stung by the nastiest fuckers on the planet. While his name is lame this guy rocks cast iron nuts. His pain tolerance must be off the charts, some of the things that have bitten and stung him would kill lesser folk!!

    Definitely think this guy is into some kind of BDSM kink lol, although he'd be earning sweet coin with 13 million subscribers!!

    @Rembrandt aren't you meant to lay down or something. Was it an NZ ODI or test match overseas when a swarm crossed the field? You did well to stay still, that'd be terrifying!

    I think so, I was pretty young at the time like maybe 7 years old. Must have been terrifying for the old man, from memory he just wrapped himself around me and kind of crouched down, at that age I was pretty well versed in what a bee sting felt like so when dad said how important it was to remain still I listened.

    @Kirwan I love how he can manage live commentary when he's pretty much dying of pain. I can see why kids would absolutely love watching him!

    He's nuts, I was panicking with just a 100 or so around me.

    Interesting I just found 2 more nests, only about 5cm in diameter, but one of the fuckers chased me after giving them a dose of mortein.

    I might add, mortein works spectacularly, moments later they were all falling to the ground writhing around.

    Odd I have not had any of that size in 5 years of living here, is it the dryer conditions that has bought them out?

    Man, found more wasp nests this summer than in the previous 5 years I been at our property.

    Disturbed a nest last night and while ninja fighting off several wasps in front of me one sneaky cnut snuck round behind and stung me on my back.

    I had the last laugh by destroying his family home.

    @booboo fark!

    Expect there must be big nests size all through some of our forests with many areas inaccessible or infrequently visited for people to see them.
