Oh yeah, my friends told me something like that too. I never touch these kinds of insects anyway, for never knowing for sure if they can bite or sting. But this one sure was cute and tempting to cause one to maybe make that mistake. ha! ha! but only once I'd bet!!!! ;)

You're very welcome, Beverly. Better not mess with these, because they're actually wasps with excruciating stings.
