I was tearing out an old r.r. tie retaining wall some years ago. Found the home of mud wasps:(
I was not nearly as lucky as Tinkerer. I got about a dozen HEAVY DUTY stings before running off my dock and diving in the lake.
Their stingers were stuck in my arms and chest like fish hooks.
About 3-4 hours later each sting swelled to baseball diameter. Took a few days to go away. HURT like HE__.
They got gas and burned about 1/2 hour after they tore me up.
