Sometimes we get these cute little things and I pick them up and let them hang around, but some people get freaked out by them and demand I get them out of the room. The ones that I think are more likely to sting humans, I’ll just catch and release outside.

We used to get cicada killers. They don’t bother humans, but it still looks like an aggressive 2-inch long missile set on your destruction.

Yep. They have sharp enough pattern matching to remember human faces. They register eyeballs = threats. Don’t stare and spaz out while doing so. If you make yourself a threat, gonna have a bad time.
Had a nest over my door last summer. They never bothered me or my pig. We ignored them, they ignored us.
