I have a buddy who gets freaked out about bees and once in a while I start pointing at him and say "BeeeeeeeEEee! and he starts running around going crazy and I get my laugh.
I put 2 artificial dragonflies that I got on amazon in my carport. They're about 5 " long and 6" wide. I havent seen one wasp or mosquito since I put them there!
I found out two years ago I'm definitely not allergic to wasps in about the worst way possible.
Dismantling scaffolding about two stories up, go to remove a 6 FT 'standard', upright steel tube between levels. Heavy, awkward takes a bit of practice to get right every time, will destroy something if you get it wrong.
I get my hands around it at the bottom, as you do that you gotta look at the top of it, lift it directly up, shuffle back and slide it to the deck (or look over the side, and if no one there and muddy, flip it over and spear it as hard as you can into the mud, they're a pain in the arse for labourers to pull out)
Anyhow I go hands on, take the weight, look straight up, and bang motherfuckin wasp gets me right in the middle of the back of the neck.
An inch higher of lift on that standard it was going through a half built wall or on someone's head two floors down. Instead the worst was a sting on my neck and a glove jammed between bits of heavy metal.
Think about how much you have forgotten at this point. I think about that sometimes and I am certain that it greatly overshadows the amount we actually remember.
Looks like AI. Not that there aren't disturbingly large insects and spiders in Australia, there absolutely are, it's just that this pictire looks like it's AI generated. It has that AI texture to it.

I'm on my motorcycle on I-10 in New Mexico.
I'm going 100 mph and a tarantula hawk hit me in the neck.
I immediately slow down while trying to check for blood.
Let's just say it hurt.
A lot.
I determined that I wasn't bleeding and got moving.
About 90 minutes later I pulled into the Holiday Inn El Paso.
I walked into the lobby and women literally swooned. Men were asking me if they should call an ambulance?
I had the biggest red looking like it was about to burst boil on my neck. About half the size of a baseball
I told them that I was fine and checked in and put some ice on it.

They're a non-venomous spider of varying sizes - can get some really big ones that look scary (harmless as they are).
