sweet huh?

That's a big nope for me. Lol. Hate wasps. Have never had a problem with spiders but when a red wasp lands on your crotch when your 10 it hounts you for life and its something you will remember till the end of your days. All you do is stand there. You don't move, you don't breath, you don't think. You just that that ting sit there until he decides he want to scar somebody else for life.
