Bumblebee nest in the garden.

Yes FA, just what were you doing, bear foot, in a bar, on a cross channel ferry, aged 7...?

 

[smmudge]

Tried the home made flamethrower option with a moth once...

A moth? A single moth? You made a flamethrower for 1 (one) moth?

I take it it just involved a lighter and a deodorant can so not much effort,

 

[Ax^]

I really really hate/ am afriad of moths


And my judgement maybe of been clouded by things at the time

This would of been the more sensible option instead I used a can of wd40

Moths are just the butterflies of the night.

Butterflies are just tarted up moths!

I am terrified of them too

[quimcunx]

Ludicrously yes. Tbf I did tread on it. Though wtf it was doing in the bar on the way to Calais, I'll never know.

Pollen shots maybe.

Cheap booze and fags? Maybe some incidental cheese. Same as everyone else.

Did you know they can use their proboscis to drink you?

You fuck!

Sorry kitty!

It is actually true, but only your sweat.

Fuck off!!

I am getting flash backs to the time that badgers told me that I would have moth babies and I would have to breast feed them

we had a wasps nest in the garden the other year. homemade flamethrower 1 - wasps nest - 0. some advice though if you do go this route with a wasps nest... make sure you have an easy and clear scape route as squirting petrol into a wasps nest REALLY pisses them off

Did wasps last year. Obviously posted here about it .

Someone is being a bit cagey about this information....

 

[Sweet FA]

Or why you were barefoot in the bar?

This was the 70s. There was a much more laissez faire attitude to parenting. We got on the boat then me and my little bro were given 10p and told to meet back by the stairs to the car deck when it was about to dock. Parents then repaired to the bar where our paths would occasionally cross. The barefoot thing? I was 7, I was on holiday, it was summer and hot and I'm not sure if flip flops had been invented . If they were, they were those plastic ones which gave you blisters between your toes if you even so much as looked askance at them.

bees can bite you even after they're dead you know.

Excellent. Thanks smmudge. Undead bees. ZOMBEES!1!!!1111!!!

 

[kittyP]

And er... bees don't bite do they?

 

[smmudge]

you gotta be careful of dead bees if you're going around barefooted, because if you step on them they can sting you just as bad as if they was alive, especially if they was kinda mad when they got killed. I bet I been bit a hundred times that way.

 

[kittyP]

ARg! They don't bite!!

 

[Cid]

No, not like moths.

 

[Ax^]

No, not like moths.

A couple of months ago I had something fucking MASSIVE flying in my house, and I couldn't get a fix on it to see what it was. Then it landed behind my curtain at the front window, and I could just see its silhouette, and it looked like some kind of mutant evil deathking insect or something. So I emptied half a can of raid on it and when it finally fell to the floor, I realised it was a beautiful bumble queen.

I was fucking heartbroken.

I don't get that freaked out by flying things anyway, but ime the bigger things tends to be the easiest to either usher out gently or catch and release due to their slowness.

At work the other day a huge beetle thing with a gorgeous greeny holographic back came in. He was pissed as fuck though and well easy to direct out the window with a bit of paper. Huge bumbles tend to be the same.
