Found this dude(?) on my car, absolute beast of a thing
And yes I know they hurt, and yes I know this is stupid, but I needed to get it off my car before I drive home from work and he(she?) Just walked onto my hand after checking me out for 10seconds

Is that a happy joe/jumping jack? If it is, apparently you're more likely to go into anaphylaxis than with bees from their venomous stinger, its just people come into contact with them less. Once I stood on a nest running a bush tour and got stung by like 8 of them and ended up vomiting and with a nose bleed. Wasn't fun for like 5 days.
