I'd still be lying there. I was walking over a bridge a few years ago and it had parking meters along the curb. The local college cross country runners were passing in the opposite direction. Two of the boys were running side by side talking... they moved over a bit as they passed me. One of the kids ran into the parking meter... square in the middle of the chest. He shook it off pretty quick... got up and ran on. I'm still shook up... lol.

Caption says it is an Amazonian Wasp. (wasps and bees give me the heebie-jeebies.)

I was reading about wasps this summer as I was fighting them for control of my back deck. Parts that are interesting were that there is a wasp predator specializing on almost every insect... including themselves. They don't set off my primordial fear like spiders do... I try not to kill them tho... they do important work.

This looks like Teahupoo in the Pacific.
I would never ride these waves... even in my prime.
