  • Last year I had the shit scared out of me by a horntail which actually turns out to be no threat at all.

    How the fuck was I meant to know something with an apparent stinger that was so huge was benign?

  • I've never seen a horntail, much to my regret.

    The concept 'benign' is obviously a multi-sided concept here. Wasps are highly benign/beneficial members of ecosystems and do a hell of a lot of useful work. While completely understandable with your condition, it's always worth checking oneself a little when conceiving of what's good about insects/spiders/creepy-crawlies etc. as relative to oneself.
