Last night was a doozy. I was opening my shed to get my lawnmower out. The shed was in the lot where the Rozenbergs live, but their house wasn't there, so it was still in the state it was in when we filmed Goshzilla. I noted the small nest of European Paper Wasps in the corner that usually don't bother me. But as I opened the door, I heard a deafening roar of bees or wasps from within indicating a larger colony. I immediately ran away and got some others to check it out.
Upon returning, the door was half open, so we peeked in. I only got a few glimpses, but there appeared to be different types of nests. There was a large honeycomb shaped one in the middle, with several spherical nests built on the edges indicative of Bald Faced Hornets. The mass of nests was hanging on a thin string of sorts and hovering over a large water-filled hole in the middle of the shed. Water was leaking down into the hole, so I looked upwards and saw that the roof had a perfect circle cut into it. It seemed that something from the sky had fallen, broken the roof, and made a crater which then filled with water. Then as mold and grass grew into the hole, it grew downward, and this was what the nest then grew on.
After looking at the nests for a bit, we saw some of the wasps and then one really large one. Like five feet long. It didn't seem to have a stinger, but its jaws were a threat enough. We hid behind poles and stuff so it couldn't bite. After that we figured that it could only see heat, so we knew not to wear gloves since they are a good conductor of heat and would be the only thing it could see. We threw a pole at it, and the side we held was warmer, so it attacked it. Two other guys joined in, and I commented how the big wasp couldn't be real since insects can't grow that big due to oxygen. They breathe through pores and since bugs are small and oxygen molecules are small, it works. One of the guys slapped the other guy for not knowing this information.
We geared up and were ready to attack. We looked inside and saw that the wasps were making a giant pizza. A gross pizza of course. The doors burst open in a flash of bright light and flying pizza parts. When the dust settled all of the wasps were gone and there was just the lone European Paper Wasp hovering there who conveyed that this all was set up for my birthday since I liked wasps. Such a nice wasp it was.
