a wasp nearly flew in my mouth

I was walking from the train station to get picked up by James last night, and I was a aware of a wasp flying around.

Before I knew I felt it land on my lip (so trying my hardest not to panic) I lent forward and gently bushed the wasp off - I am so lucky that I didnt get stung - although it would have made an awesome picture ;o)

bees and wasps, I've heard, are drawn to higher heart rates. So when you panic and run and scream, they follow.

My grandfather always told us to bite our tongue when a bee was around, and they would leave you alone. It has always worked, but probably because we concentrated on biting our tongue and not freaking out.

You were wise to stay calm :) Saved you a fat lip ;)

Could someone please enlighten me as to the point of wasps? I mean, I get bees, but wasps? Bloody things.

Funnily enough, I was being harassed by one when I was having lunch today. It didn't get anywhere near my mouth though.

Kelly - that is some good advice about biting your lip - I will try and have to remember that ;o)

Al - you were lucky ;o)
