Someone just told me they wouldn't be able to meet because they were "going be injecting Drosophila with venom" at that time.

@peterdrake Poor fruit flies...

Wait, what am I saying? Kill the bastards with fire! Or venom, whatever! Oh, and take notes of course. For science!

They had to kill the bee to get the venom.

@Pat @peterdrake Let's hope it's from wasps instead. Those bastards.

@trinsec @peterdrake

Wasps are fine as long you don't try to hurt them or disturb their nest.

@Pat @peterdrake You've never been interrupted by a bunch of drunken wasps who are drinking from the grapes off your grapevine huh? :P Wasps are outright assholes in fall, when they're done with their duties for the most part.

@trinsec

We have several species of wasp here but they're all relatively tame. The paper wasps can be kind of destructive if they decide to start munching on your wooden structures.

>"It would be spider venom."

That would make more sense, because that happens in nature. But predators are terrifying irrespective of species.
