A Radio-active Wasp !!??! -- watch out one of the workers may get wasp-like superpowers from being stung!
Seriously, does the sting pass any radioactivity to the victim? -
They'll be easy to see at night at least.Comment

I once got attacked by a swarm of Asian Giant Hornets whose hive had been stirred up by a couple of naughty little boys. That was one experience I could have done without - luckily I eventually passed out for several hours. Their hives are about 6 feet tall.
"It is the world’s largest hornet at approximately two inches long, this species is native to Eastern Asia. They are a ferocious wasp which using minimal numbers can destroy an entire honey bee hive in a matter of hours and plunder its bounty.
They have an abnormally large head and formidable mandibles, giving them an especially fearsome appearance. Here is The Incredible Hulk of a Killer Bee. Don’t make them angry. -You won’t like them when they’re angry!
Their sting is especially painful to humans. Their venom contains chemicals that necrotize flesh, stimulate nerve cells that conduct pain signals and like all true wasps, their stinger is barbless. This means that they can sting repeatedly. Some people even have allergic reactions to the stings of these bees if stung enough times. About 40 people die every year in Japan due to Asian Wasp stings." (ScienceRay)

That is one honking wasp!! I've gotten stung before by a bee and wow was that painful. How old were you when you got stung, Cat?Those who look outside dream. Those who look within awake.
Samples of my work are found here: Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness

I was about 17 and my sister was about 12. Their stingers went through about 5 layers of clothes like a hot knife thru butter.
Get this, we were staying at a Japanese inn and when the staff saw us coming, they closed the door...until they saw I was going to smash it if they didn't open it.
The boys who started it all got stung only twice, we got stung all over. I seriously thought I was going to die.
