I did not know that hornets are carnivores, and did not know that they ate carrion. We had a badger that got run over by a swather (god bless it! I HATE badgers) and I had to remove it. I go out there and this thing is buzzing so bad that it sounds like an airplane. So I go back in and bundle up in gloves, welding jacket and a bandana/hat thing to cover my head. I know I looked stupid, but I didn't care. This thing had been sitting in the sun for at least a day with 100 degree heat and it STUNK! So I'm running this thing across the field and I look back and there's this cloud of flying things following along, riding the intestines that were dragging on the ground. I throw this thing and at least 5 feet of intestines go flying by my face so close that I could almost taste them, followed by a whole bunch of hornets. I didn't get stung, but I almost ate a couple by accident.
Another time I got stuck by one right above my eye. I was eating an ice cream cone. I stomped and swore and swore and stomped, but I did not lose a single drop of ice cream.
