Attack of the Giant Bee

HELP! I’m being plagued by a giant wasp, or bee or something – I’ve never seen anything that big flying around that was not some sort of bird…

I like to leave the door to the patio open while I’m working so Uno can wander in and out, and this sci fi creature from hell just buzzed in and keeps zooming around the room. Thank goodness I’m wearing gray, so at least it won’t mistake me for a flower or anything, but yikes!

I mean seriously, this thing, as near as I can tell, is big, black, fuzzy, and its wings make a bodacious amount of noise. It’s so loud it’s interfering with my headset operation, not to mention it’s kind of hard to type when you’re worried about getting skewered at any moment with a giant stinger…

Although – I haven’t actually seen a stinger – yet. I’m kind of afraid to look. I just keep ducking and squeezing my eyes shut and hoping it will move on. I’m not the sort of person who gets all freaked out and starts waving her arms around when a bee shows up on the scene, but gees, I’ve never SEEN such a monstrously HUGE bee.

At least I’m not allergic to bees, but if this things stings or bites or whatever it does, it could put a serious hurt on you – or me, actually.

What IS this thing? I’d try to get a picture, but it has finally found the high window and is now beating itself to death up there trying to get out, so I’m just grateful it’s leaving me alone now.

It must be some kind of a local Hawaiian creature – I mean, the snails here are huge, the kind they use for Escargot in French restaurants, at least size wise, I haven’t actually tried cooking them up, so maybe the bees are giant as well.

God help us all if these creatures ever manage to cross mutate with the killer bees migrating up into the Southern States from South America – that’s the stuff horror movies are made of!

Ahh! It’s back! Duck! Where’s my can of Raid?!!
