Welcome to Brad's online memory archives.

Creepy Crawly

Happy Halloween!

Since this is Halloween, I’ll post something scary: pictures of the giant wasp that was in my computer room yesterday. It’s either a Cicada Killer (which would be creepy, but not terrifying), or it’s a European Hornet (which would give me the jibblies for a long time). It looks more like a hornet to me, so as I sit typing this post in the early morning dark, I keep listening for a buzz, and I keep checking the underside of the desk and chair.

Here it is in the window where I found it:
See the yellow banding on the abdomen?

And here it is after I sprayed it with 409 kitchen cleaner:
Putting the quarter next to it was scary.

    At least it was a clean kill. 😉

    Happy Halloween! My wish for everyone: only eat your favorite kind of candy, and leave the gross stuff for another day when you’re desperate for anything sweet!

    AHHHHHH! That thing is huge! I think I’d rather have Dracula in my room!

    Happy Halloween! May you all join in the fun today:
