[QUOTE="SHBailey, post: 1820036, member: 89387"] My "close encounter of the worst kind" with what was probably a yellow jacket happened about 15 years ago when I was out in the yard walking through tall grass (the lawn needed some serious mowing at the time). I came in the back door crying out in pain and my husband thought I had cut myself. I pulled out what looked like a stinger but it still hurt, so I tried soaking a towel with some cold tap water (the water in Anchorage comes out of the tap ice cold even in the summer) and that pretty much stopped the pain. I didn't know lavender would work. I googled dragonflies the other day and found all kinds of conflicting stuff about whether or not they could do humans any harm. Some websites said they don't bite at all and others said they prey on other insects and are capable of biting if you seriously abuse them -- depending on the species. The general consensus seemed to be that they are harmless to humans under normal circumstances. I have never really tried to handle them much, and if one ever landed on me I'd probably just let it sit there so that I could admire its beautiful iridescent wings and other-worldly appearance. :) I do the same with wasps and bees as you say -- I try not to bother them. I used to watch bees buzz around the flowers in my grandmother's garden and she would say, "Don't bother them and they won't bother you." I never got stung until years later when I bumped into one by accident. It wasn't as bad as the wasp. My poor husband does most of the work when it comes to critter care, and I get most of the snuggles. But I think Puff has learned that he can trust either one of his human slaves equally to take care of him, or at least to be gentle with him, although my husband seems to think he likes to cuddle with me better because I'm softer. That's just because fat is softer than muscle. :wink: [/QUOTE]
