Cicada Killer up my sleeve
Yesterday, while riding, something went up my sleeve and started to tare the hell out of me. I had my leathers zipped at the sleeve so it didn't go all the way up my arm. It got me in about 5 spots behind my wrist. Just as it stung me I was rolling into town and slowed down and it flew out of my sleeve. I was huge. I think it was a Cicada Killer. I am having a little problem with them this year as they are undermining my driveway with all their digging. They are plentiful this year.
Today my arm is killing me. Everything is swollen from finger tips to arm pit. It feels like my arm is going to split open.

Hey Timbo,
Sorry to hear you got stung - but be grateful it didn't fly inside an open visor and lodge between the foam and your head! I had a bee (Apis melifera) do that to me once.
Hope the pain and swelling reduces soon (use Tea Tree oil)
Personally I think they are beautiful insects *
Cheers, SB
