So I was chillin in my Beverly apartment tonight when this f**ker buzzes the tower (my head) and proceeds to careen around the whole room; buzzing like Hillary's diesel-powered-dildo. Being unarmed, I was forced to throw and old pizza box over him and executed a Bruce Lee stomp. He crunched like crusty sock full of corn chips. Upon inspection I identified him as either an Unholy Hell-Beetle or a Cicada. Two inches long with wings the size of my thumbs and beady eyes that stare into your soul. This thing could use a .22 LR as a butt-plug so what do you guys think, 45ACP, 50BMG or just Nuke the site from orbit?

Seriously, what the actual f**k, since when do we have fat f**king flying Cicadas on the north shore?

Had one in my house last week. Same experience. Thought it was a friggin bat! He died in a fire pit accident, lol.
I found another one dead on my patio yesterday.

Velvet ants. Solve all the world's problem. Do NOT piss off a female.cow ant. Do not.

They are on a mission.

Second most painful event of my life was being tagged by one. And yeah, they are wasps. Not ants. I know.
 
Never heard of one and looked it up. Holy crap!
