Cute, but I've been stung before, so I do feel compelled to warn you that you're in for a world of hurt if that thing jabs you. Sadly, one was hiding in my bed one night and thought I was trying to mess with him. Very, very painful.

That’s exactly how I got stung. I grew up in AZ and got my first experience when I was 8. One made its way into my bed, I assume because my blanket was touching the floor. I rolled over onto it in the middle Of the night and was gifted with 2 jabs in the ribs.
