When I lived in Oregon I quickly learned to NOT antagonize yellow jackets—they are aggressive, can sting you multiple times, and their stings REALLY hurt. So one day I was sitting on my porch eating a hamburger when a yellow jacket landed on my hand. I froze, of course, but the little carnivore just grabbed a pea-sized bit of meat from my sandwich and flew off. I breathed a sigh of relief, and went on enjoying my sandwich … until that yellow jacket came back … along with a bunch of her sisters, all focusing on my sandwich. I finished my lunch inside my house!
