D.C. = Dangerous City

So at work again and I read an article about these venomous wasps that are taking over our (not including Domenic) Nation's Capitol.

"Adult cicada killer wasps are large, 1.5 to 5 cm (2/3 to 2 inches)"
- Two INCHES that is huge! It is almost as big as Joe Gates!
"Cicada killer females use their sting to paralyze their prey (cicadas) rather than to defend their nests."
- Which means if you resemble a cicada (I am looking in your direction Brendan) then you are in trouble....
"Both sexes appear to be well equipped to bite, as they have large jaws; however, they are unable to grasp human skin and cannot bite."
- For now that is... with all the steroids and hormones in food....
It is also known as the "Eastern Cicada Killer" which I translate to the Eastern Citizen Killer!
You cannot say you have not been warned!
Watch out Thom!
