Stung, Twice!

Normally bees and wasps and all those flying stinging bastards don't bother me. Even if they come sniffing around I don't freak out like some people. Before recently I had not been stung in an extremely long time. In fact the last time I can remember was when I was probably 5 or 6 running around my grandparent's yard and got stung on my pinky toe. 

Two weekends ago while mowing the lawn I felt something hit my calf, so I swatted it and it landed on my forearm and stuck me. I was not pleased. There was no stinger stuck in my arm, so I was thinking it was a wasp or hornet. I'm not deathly allergic, but my arm got really sore and swollen.

Last weekend I was mowing again and in the same exact spot I felt something on my leg again and went to swat it, but it stung me on the back of the knee before I got there. Same MO, no stinger and seemly out of nowhere. I was really pissed this time. I spoke some choice words rather (extremely) loudly.

We looked online to see what makes nests in the ground and it looks like it was probably a wasp. The only thing is I can't find the nest. Typically they look like little piles of dirt and are pretty obvious. This weekend when I mow, I'll be ready to kick some wasp-ass.
