Does that mean the 'bite' came from its rear end? in that case it sounds more like wasp-like insect to me. I have heared some of the sawflies can use their ovipsitor to 'jibe' at you...


As I said, it was definitely a sting. I saw it bend it's rear end round and jab me. It didn't look at all like a wasp. My husband agrees that it was like a unspindly brown crane fly crossed with a giant flying ant! Not very friendly looking at all.
