Did you know Johnny Cash got beat up by an ostrich one time? It's a thing I learned.
They really are assholes. We have a wildlife refuge thing here where you can drive around and hand feed elk and giraffes and zebra and stuff, but I roll up my windows when ostrich are near. I've had them peck me too many times to take another chance

That bump on his neck is filled with pure rage and hatred.

It's residual scarring from where the second head was removed.

gosh, it was nearly a year ago that I was in france and seeing bumblebees for the first time and they were absolutely fascinating. Honey-bees are great in their own way, but bumblebees are phenominally cool and chill in their own way.

I had never seen one until a couple of years ago at work. I thought a bumblebee was just another name for a honey bee until I saw a bumblebee flitting around some flowers next to honeybees.

they are big and fluffy all over and aren't itchy or irritating at all when they land on you, not even like other insects
also i'm just gonna use this as an opportunity to post this photo
Someone once told me the giant "chicken drumsticks" at renfaires are ostrich legs. So if you want payback for all those times they've been a giant dick to you...
Wasps are also sometimes a somewhat vital part of our ecosystem but they are aggressive little bodies of hate so fuck them.

That's not actually true and often wasps are the victims of slander. They can be just as chilled as bees. They only really get aggressive towards the end of summer when all their food is disappearing and they start starving to death. And hey, everybody gets hangry.
I have been attacked, on 4 separate occasions, by whole nests of wasps.
Like 20+ wasps/hornets biting the fuck out of me. Because I had the audacity to be in their vicinity and being not a wasp!
I have only ever been stung one time, and that was by a red wasp when I was like 3 years old and minding my own business. It was in the car with us and my grandmother told me it wouldn't bother me if I didn't bother it, so I didn't. It stung me anyway.
That's when I learned that anything that flies and stings is to be feared and hated, and that my grandmother was a filthy fucking liar
Just kidding, my grandmother was a lovely woman and I miss her very much. I also slowly got over my terror of flying, stinging insects and even leave wasps alone (unless they're building nests near my house. A few random wasps flying around isn't a big deal, but a whole nest of the aggressive little shits isn't something I want nearby)
So one of the four times I've been attacked (I've told the wood pile one here before but not this one I don't think): I apparently annoyed a nest that was underground near a some wild blueberry and huckleberry bushes.
We were picking them and I felt a poke on my leg and thought it must've been a thorn because there were occasionally blackberries and stuff tangled up in these bushes.
Then I felt another.
Then another.
I thought I was being clumsy so I looked down at my leg and saw 4 wasps climbing into my jean pantleg. I shook my leg and 8 wasps flew out.
So, I screamed "AHHHHH WASPS" and started running.
I ran ~1.5 miles in what felt like 25 seconds all the way home from my friend's house in the woods. When I got there I ripped off my clothes (this is a common enough thing that I have learned the steps to do it -- which I learned the first time it happened because a friend and I were playing near a wood pile) and there was at least 15 wasps still on me.
I slept the whole rest of the day after my mom basically only woke me up to dose me with benadryl. According to my dad he had spent the next hour fighting wasps in our house.
To date those wasps were more painful than any of the other ones. Fucking yellowjackets.

@Brovid Hasselsmof thanks for turning me onto this thread. Been enjoying seeing more of your photos here as well as everyone else's. Like the spirit of this thread as something a little different than the AC. Good to step out of that bubble now and again.

If I may, I believe we appear to be looking at weird assears.
I hear ostriches are assholes.
I believe it.
I mean just look at him. You can tell.

If you don't immediately cauterize it do 2 additional heads pop up?
He's eating something
... No wait I mean it's the head scar thing. Definitely that.
Ostriches are absolutely jerks but I gotta say in the cash v ostrich confrontation I'm siding with the bird. He pretty much asked for it.

Are you confusing bees with wasps?
