Just did a bit of yard work outside after work. Trimming some blackberries in the driveway & some little 6-legged asshole STUNG me.
I wasn't anywhere near an obvious hive or nest, didn't even see the little bugger - she literally flew up & stabbed me in the back. Twice.
So I'm guessing she's was a yellowjacket or similar, something that bites rather than stings.
@CoyoteConscious Thanks! I figure most bees & wasps ppl encounter are more likely than not to be female, so it just makes sense to me.
