Common house centipede

I get those. They run fast.

I have lived most of my life west of the Mississippi, and much of it on the coast. Unfortunately, I've never heard yellowjackets referred to as Meat Bees.

One of the local cycling clubs is called the yellowjackets, because that's the common term out here. But from now on I'm going to call them the meat bees. Much more menacing.

And entirely different from wasps. Please.

What about sweat bees?



Very small bees that will buzz around and try to land on you, attracted by the smell of sweat.

beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

Yeah. I never knew that meat had to be pollinated. The pictures in my head make me giggle.
