Thank god I wasn't doing something boys do at the time, because that would have ruined the moment.

I could be your wife/author, and we'd live in a refurbished and cozy lighthouse by the sea. You'd fish in the day, while I sat on the cliffside and wrote. Later, you'd be eaten by some sort of ocean dwelling Nessie and I'd write a sad story about that. I'd probably sleep around on you as well, dirty little tramp that I am. I take it where they put it, and I scream when they c*m.

tura, are they like june bugs?
those things feel like ya got whiped with a rock when you are on a motorcycle. hurts like hell
and bumble bees do sting!
On Bees and Stingers
One of the more well-known characteristics of insects of the
order Hymenoptera is that they sting. Not all Hymenoptera
sting, but those that do certainly get our attention!
The stinging Hymenoptera include insects of three groups:
bees, wasps and ants. Most people recognize that these
insects include some species that live in groups called
colonies. Insect colony dwellers are social insects. A hive
of bees, a wasp's nest or an ant hill are frequently
encountered examples of social insect colonies.
All ants live in colonies, but many bees and wasps do not.
Hymenoptera that shun the social lifestyle are known as
solitary species. Most solitary bees and wasps can sting but
generally do so to paralyze prey, such as caterpillars or
spiders, as food for their offspring.
The social insects can be downright unsocial when it comes
to the stinging habit. Social insects that sting humans or
other large animals do so as a defensive measure. They are
either trying to protect themselves or their nest.
Stinging insects away from their nest are unlikely to be
aggressive. Bees visiting a flower or wasps searching for a
caterpillar are quite docile-unless they are physically
restrained. Then they will use their stinger to protect
themselves.
Stingers of insects are modified egg-laying devices called
ovipositors. So only female insects sting. In most social
insect colonies, the workers are non-reproductive females
with stingers. In general, these are the social insects
humans most often encounter since they, as their name
suggests, do the work.
In bumble bees and honey bees, the males are called drones
and can be handled without fear of being stung. Of course,
you need to be able to tell the male from the female. In
honey bees, the drones are larger than the workers. In
bumble bees, the males have much larger eyes than their
sisters. These characteristics aren't of much help, unless
the males and females are side by side for observation.
In carpenter bees and cicada-killer hornets, the males
pretend like they can sting. They will actually land on a
person and act like they are stinging with their abdomen. It
is all a show. A show that works, because most animals
aren't willing to find out if the insect is a he or a she by
being stung!
The goal of the stinging insect is to inject poison into the
offending animal. The stinger is just the needle to do the
job. Honey bee stingers are barbed. When the stinger is
jabbed into the skin, the barbs-like those on a fish
hook-keep the stinger from being removed. When the bee
leaves, she pulls the end of her abdomen off. This results
in the death of the bee. This action has been called the
ultimate act of altruism-giving your life for the good of
the colony. The human equivalent is a soldier's loss of life
in wartime.
Stingers of bumble bees and wasps are sharp, smooth needles
without barbs. Consequently, these bees and wasps can sting
multiple times.
In all instances, it is best not to disturb nests of bees
and wasps. They are likely to protect the colony at your
expense.
and if the stinger is left behind in you the bee ill die within the next three days, and you should remove it asap and if the sac is still attached get the stinger out and try to use a suction device to remove as much of the poison as you can asap.

Don't use tweezers or pinch and pull with your fingers since you'll just pump more poison into your skin. Use a plastic card or something and scrape the stinger out.

suction device > scraping
if you are allergic to them they give you a little kit with a suction thingy with different attachment heads and the needle thing which sucks and hurts.

Barbed stingers, the types that can be lost in the process, can only be used once. I aplogise for once more pointing this out to the above poster, if he has some sort of problem in which he's extra greasy, even on a microscopic level.

where they are not harmful.... they are very big... very ugly... very plentiful... and very loud insects... that plague my homeland once every 17 years.... they come out of the ground by way of hell... and terrorize me on jeep rides... toooo many times have i slapped one away... if came right back... i slapped it away... it came right back.... untill i slap it down.. and take its life with my holy sandles....

No locusts are alot worse than june bugs. These things are huge. Like the size of your finger, and they can bite too. When they fly into you, they are really loud and scare the crap out of you right before you drop whatever you were doing. /shudder

These cicadas are punishment for the sins you've wrought upon all you see. Be grateful.
