A wasp... bites? -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 12:49 8
- I was under the impression that the insectoid ones do, yes -- nm - Beryllium Aug 21, 12:52 7
  - wasps and bees can either bite (nonvenomous) or sting (venomous), IIRC from entomology class. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 12:53 6
    - Hmm. Have never known anyone to get bit by one. Fascinating. -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 12:54 5
      - I was bitten by a bee (drone) in entomology class when the prof got me to hold it in my fingers. it wasn't bad. - loosilu Aug 21, 12:56 4
        
        google says the queen and the drones can't sting. that makes sense - it explains why the professor made me hold it. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 12:58 2
        
        Huh. I knew about the queen not being able to but had never heard about the drones. -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 13:02 1
        
        the stinger is a modified ovipositor. The queen's only job is to lay eggs. the workers can't. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 13:02
