[QUOTE="sand surfer, post: 662228, member: 7418"] may have been a mangrove wasp if in qld if the branch the nest is attached to is bumped the whole nest will lift but usually it is one or two that will attack and they will chase you for a few years i have had the privilege of studying them very closely while trapped in a cherry picker ,they love lychee trees for a roost we used the sports freeze spray for them you would back out of the tree slowly while whole nest is in hover mode and slowly grab the can and give them a good spray ,the spray froze there fine wings and they snapped off and they hit the ground then the ants had a feed the method may have been a bit cruel but over the years we found that it was the only way of a instant result and no one being stung [/QUOTE]
