Following a recent boating trip around the home counties - what is your favourite biting/stinging insect?
 
Bees are great. Their hives are beautifully perfect mathematical shapes. The rest are stinging *****.
 
Bees are bloody important for pollination, if they ceased to exist we'd be in no end of trouble. Also they're not aggressive, and only sting as a last resort. I used to stroke them as a kid, and never got stung.

I'd put Hornets second. Big, and bloody terrifying, but again generally not at all aggressive.
 
Bees shouldn't be able to fly as they pretty much violate the laws of aerodynamics. No one told the bees though. That makes them awesome. Bees rock.

I also work with a guy called Midge and he's okay too.
 
Midge (as in a Scottish midgie) is nothing like a mosquito. Midgies are miniscule - they just look like tiny black dots (as opposed to any discernible animal, as such) - but swarm together in their thousands. They inflict tiny wee bites together, and love damp Scottish ferns / grasses.

Midge / gnat? Not sure.

Mosquito - well, you know how they look.
