Dangerous Traps

We all know the danger of getting a hand caught by a trap so I should be able to see the funny side of my experience if it wasn't for a very swollen and painful hand --and before you laugh, -no it is not what you are thinking!. I stopped by the box near the Mission House driveway to replace the string/flag and having slid the lid sideways I but my hand on the side of he box to pull up the wire hook on the top of he kill bar when I felt a sharp pain on the palm of my hand. As I pulled my hand away I noticed something fall to the ground and on inspection saw a very large wasp, I had been stung. It seems very early for queen wasps to be hibernating but this could be a lesson to all trappers,--just check the top of the box once the lid has been moved, meanwhile I am wallowing in self pity as I don't expect you guys will give me any(:-)
