Wasps can be friendly if you gently scratch them behind the ears...haha! @Michelle: They don’t attack people and are delicious in stir fry LOL!

You are very courageous. I would have screamed like crazy if the same thing happened to me and also try to make the wasps go away. Haha, I would have probably ended up being stung. :D Wow, this is almost unreal! You are very courageous.

I'd like to read that. I know people that have venomous snakes and spiders as pets, but I'll pass on it! @Teeni: Thanks! I do feel better now, though it took several days to get there. Maybe I'll start blogging again! @Shinade: Thanks Jackie! It's nice to see you and I will definitely come see your grandson's pictures! @Adam: Thanks for reading Adam and it's nice to meet you. I've been spending a lot of time outdoors lately - it's really made me feel better! @Denver: It was amazing and I wish I had filmed it! @Sharon: Thanks! I feel great right now. I'm glad I didn't get stung too. @Dave: That's an interesting observation on the insect military! I actually have an epipen, just in case - it might be out of date though. @Paula: Thanks Paula! All I know is it's great to hear from you! I know you've been through a lot and I hope all is well. Here's a hug for you too! @JC: Thanks so much! I’d like to read that.

Beautiful writing. I love dragonflies. They are my personal animal totem, well along with frogs. :-) My yard has been full of red dragonflies this summer. Big hugs my f friend. I'm slowly but surely coming out of hibernation. Hey Bobby!

We all need a good smile or chuckle every once in a while. Like you, I'm allergic. Been stung hundreds of times in my life but last summer a single sting on the eyebrow and within 30 min was covered in hives from head to toe and started having a difficult time breathing. I kinda doubt I'd have been able to sit there as you did. EpiPen anyone? Dragonflies are amazing preditors. Mosquitos are a favorite of theirs. They're like the F-22 Raptors of the insect world. Generally, it's believed the "swarming" is due to favorable feeding conditions/grounds. It is also speculated that the swarming might be due to a "courting" ritual. If you're interested, here's some more info on them... http://science-ed.pnl.gov/pals/resource/cards/dragonflies.stm Hmmmmmm... Insect Military Air Force... Dragonflies Navy... Giant Water Bug Army... Fire Ants Marines... Preying Mantis Really pleased it made you smile Bobby. We all need a good smile or chuckle every once in a while.

Thank you for sharing your amazing experience. The imagery was so vivid. I'm not allergic to bees, but I would have been freaking out! I'm glad you were not stung.
