bladesparkThere appears to be a wasp in my room. At 3 am! Augh! Wasp! Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy do I have a psycho night-owl wasp? Spiders I can happily co-exist with, but not wasps! And it's perched where I can't kill it... and even if it wasn't, eeeeeeee... if I try to kill it and miss it will get mad, and sting me. *whimpers and hides from the wasp.*
Edit: Do wasps get attracted to light like moths do? Because this one was trying to make sweet love to my light fixture. I only wish I had the kind a bug could get inside, so it would have fried itself. As is, I turned out the light here, and turned on the one in my bathroom, and lured it in there, and then shut the door and left the light on.
I really am not 100% sure it's a wasp, but I'm taking no chances. I only regret that our wasp killer spray informs me that it is highly toxic to humans too, and should not be used indoors, otherwise I'd go spritz that thing. I don't dare swat it though. It keeps perching on the ceiling, and I'm not sure I can even hit it, and if it is a wasp and I upset it... *meep*
But hopefully it will be content to attempt to romance the bathroom lights and leave me alone until tomorrow, when I can get Dad to kill it.
I don't have any fear of unagressive and harmless bugs. They're neat crawly things. Wasps are neat too, but also psychotic and very painful.
