When I was a kid my mum trapped a single wasp in her tights after going to the toilet. That little bastard stung her many, many times. Scared the life out of me at a formative 4 or 5 years old, seeing her in pain, distressed and panicking, not being able to see it or understand what was causing the pain.

So respectfully, fucking No.

I mean, I love bears and gators and stuff. Doesn't mean I want them anywhere near me, let alone in my pants. ;)

Cockroaches and mosquitoes? ... honestly ...?

Be warned - I've got a cockroach story too.

Well, if I can't say I'm exactly fond of either, though I don't hate them, but I can say that mosquitos tend to be pretty fond of me. That said, I do enjoy watching the spectacle of swallows and bats chasing after them in the late afternoon, early evening. Dragonflies eat mosquitos too, and I think those guys can be absolutely stunning.
