I hate flies. Even worse is stinging critters. I got one last night. Looks like a giant wasp. WAY bigger than normal. It was on the wall above the basement steps. I smacked t hard with a metal screen fly swatter. It bounced down the steps. I could see it still moving. I walked down and hit it again and scooped it on the fly swatter. Still moving. I set it on the landing of the steps and hit it a few more times. Still moving. I held it on the flyswatter and my son got under it with his lighter. Flared up a little. Still moving. Put it in a jar overnight. Still moving.
I have never seen one of these before. I am really hoping this is the only one here.
