Angel Station: Them!

Gulp!

Walter Jon Williams: Angel Station: Them!: You know, giant insects never really scared me.

What scares me is lots of little insects. This brings me to this article from a Montgomery paper describing the giant yellowjacket nests sprouting up throughout the South, so big they swallow cars and furniture.

'The largest nest Ray has inspected this year filled the interior of a weathered 1955 Chevrolet parked in a rural Elmore County barn. That nest was about the size of a tire in the rear floor seven weeks ago, but quickly spread to fill the entire vehicle, the property owner, Harry Coker, said. Four satellite nests around it have gotten into the eaves of the barn, about 300 yards from his home. '"I'm kind of afraid for the grandkids. I had to sneak down there at dark and get my tractor out of the barn," Coker said. "It's been a disruption.". . .

'These gigantic nests may have as many as 100,000 workers and multiple queens.'

Okay. Scared now.
