Just to point out Dragon flies do not sting. They can give you a nip with a fair set off pincer like knashers but would only do so if some clown like me actually catches one and you then put your finger near its gob. Otherwise they wont hurt you at all. Lovely things to have flying around but they can to some look scary. They are however absolutely harmless even though they can be curious and come and check you out.
harmless to us but one of the most voracious predators in nature.

No it had my thumb...decent nip on it as well. Funny enough the same thumb that got bitten by a large spider when I went rummaging in a bush in Sumatra many moons ago.

I hope she was worth it. :-)No it had my thumb...decent nip on it as well. Funny enough the same thumb that got bitten by a large spider when I went rummaging in a bush in Sumatra many moons ago.
I cornered a stag beetle once and I was fine until he decided to rear up and pretty much say "come and have a go if you think you're hard enough". I wasn't. Picked him up with a shovel and threw him over the railway embankment.

the Mrs woke me up this morning screaming like mad ? jumped out of bed and ran down stairs to find her hiding in the kitchen because this big NOPE FUCKING BIG asian hornet was having a party in the front room
this is ancoats manchester fucking asian hornet ? what the fuck big fucking flying hornet that was doing flying loop de loops and dive bombing the windows and blinds
right am on it i shout ? and got a plastic cup and a CD sleeve and without any plans of action took it on myself to wave the cup in the air thinking the hornet would be daft enough to fly into the cup without any persuasion hahaha 30 minutes later am up on a chair myself dripping in sweat waving the white flag ? the fucker had won and was now taking the piss so now am waiting for my turn. you big fucker can not keep this up much longer. you have to rest and land on something and at that moment the mrs opens the door and ask are you ok ??? it must have got to the hornet and put it in a muggle and he made a mistake of landing on the blinds hahha i got you now you big daft fucker. big mistake and in a flash i pulling the cord on the blind to close them BINGO i had it trapped
now i had a plan and it was like right am opening the window and you can fly out on your own free will ?? the fucker was now truly taking the piss because he was having non of it. and it was dancing in the window and the noise was crazy and so loud and that was it times up
i took a big breath in and pumped my chest out and went in with my cup and cd sleeve i got it cornered and got the cup in place and bingo i had it game over ?? slid the CD sleeve under the cup and trapped it. winner winner chicken dinner and walked it out of the garden and let it go how daft was that
I blame the Chinese.
