The accuracy and the maliciousness of a wasp getting you directly on the eyelid is impressive but also very upsetting.

Im sorry to hear about your kid getting stung. It has been so bad this year. A few years ago, i was getting off a bus in parkdale and while reaching into my pocket to put my mask away, a wasp stung my hand. I suspect it was flying around my pocket and not just *in* there, but I'll never know.
