Evil Stinging Insects on Incredible Journey

Post by tsouth » Wed Aug 14, 2013 3:44 pm

There is a Evil Stinging Insect nest on Incredible Journey, it is just to the left of the route exactly where you want to go for the rest before the last crux. It provided quite the thrill realizing when I moved over to that rest I put my hand on a hold and my arm was quickly covered in Evil Stinging Insects. Luckily I made it out with only a sting on my ankle, how I didn't get stung on my arm and got stung there is beyond me.

Edit: Replaced Bees with evil stinging insects as Drew has pointed out they were likely Wasps. I didn't stick out long enough to take an insect sample. Hornets, Wasps, mean Bees (not the lovely honey kind) and other stinging insects are hereby grouped into Evil Stinging Insects.

Those are wasps.

Bees are the endangered ones we like because most of our food is pollinated by them.
Wasps are the ones without redeeming qualities.
