They live in holes in the ground and get you because you don't see the hole and don't see them coming. Did the stings hurt like hell? Then it might be a hornet.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04243797851553213461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772894982323103555.post-16402146356535866352011-08-08T21:24:59.192-04:002011-08-08T21:24:59.192-04:00Oh and I forgot to say, that's a perfectly acc...Oh and I forgot to say, that's a perfectly acceptable outfit for being at home and running into town for a quick errand...or grocery shopping...Sometimes I'm just not feeling getting dressed up. I'm all about a hat and t shirts. Those just rarely make the blog! I just skip those days!

I don't know how you do it without a/c, but I'm not sure where it is you are.<br /><br />Here, in GA, it's been at, near or above 100 since June!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13199195394961916502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772894982323103555.post-66587475948482726872011-08-08T20:34:43.436-04:002011-08-08T20:34:43.436-04:00Sounds like some type of wasp that nests on the gr...Sounds like some type of wasp that nests on the ground. My husband was bit on the nose while mowing the yard (we have several acres). He went on and on about how painful it was, and I kinda made fun of him and told him he was making a big deal out of a little sting. Well....We were walking with our dogs a few days later, and I got stung on my leg. I thought I had been shot!!!! My hubby was kind and patient and half carried me to the house. In the evening, he took care of the wasp nest. Not exactly eco friendly, but wife and dog firendly fos ure. Hope you feel better :-) MariaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772894982323103555.post-47629137195547434932011-08-08T16:23:23.624-04:002011-08-08T16:23:23.624-04:00Eeek the sting sounds horrible!

My mom had a centipede sting that sounds just like it, but those can't fly obviously. <br /><br />I also understand the pain of taking your own photos... it's a lot of trial and error and running back and forth..

I'm gussied up all day, at night I want to put my feet up and say Ahhhhh!<br /><br />I agree that it was probably yellow jackets. Hows the butt now? That will teach you to try and be productive.

They nest in the ground, as I discovered to my dismay one summer (nine stings while I was dragging my kayak out of the basement bulkhead door), and they get cranky starting around this time of year, apparently, because their food sources begin to diminish. I bet their nest was near where you were weeding. If you can sit out there at a safe distance and watch to see them fly in and out, you might discover it. Someone told me that if you put a bit of protein food on the ground nearby (he suggested bologna, of all things), you might attract them and be able to see more clearly where they fly into and out of. Once you figure out where they are, the best thing to do would be to borrow a beekeeper's suit and spray the hell out of the nest at night, when they're all inside. (Heck, pour boiling water on top of them afterward, to finish 'em all off.) If you can't borrow a full bee suit, pick up a cheap bug veil and layer up well, sealing as many openings in your clothes as you can. (I wore my winter coat, snow pants, and boots, with the bug veil, in the middle of summer. I'm glad nobody saw me.) Good luck.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15488065525840256413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772894982323103555.post-4475780308499867582011-08-08T00:25:24.719-04:002011-08-08T00:25:24.719-04:00Yowch!

I dress up almost everyday, but almost always change into sweatpants/sleep pants and an oversized freebie t shirt from DH's old workplace.<br /><br />Yowch! Sorry to hear about the stings/bites. I'd probably see if you got into some ants or possibly a nest of something near. I'd probably stay inside, but I'm terrible in heat and love my air conditioning and lack of bugs. I shudder to think about no a/c with how many air quality alerts have been out in the past few weeks.Megan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169811757787686946noreply@blogger.com
