Have you heard of the Wallace Giant Bee? I WAS THE FIRST TO REDISCOVER IT!!!!! It got into my house 3 times in 2009! I live in Florida. So this is also something you have to worry about here too. However the Florida version is very different. Nocturnal and parasitic. It lays its eggs in palmetto bugs, then drags them to a high place. You may be asking: How did you find all this out? Well, despite this happening in 2009, and that I was only 5 years old, I remember this VERY vividly. I was DEATHLY afraid of bees wasps and hornets at the time, so this pretty much scarred me for life. I remember that it was trying to do only one thing: go up. It was in full panic mode, completely unaware of everything, so my dad was able to sweet it outside with a broom. Getting it to the door was the easy part. Getting it under the doorframe was the hard part, we all thought it would attack my dad, but it didn’t. As mentioned earlier, this happened 3 times. After that, I just brushed it aside. Until I started this first year of high school. It’s the 4th day of high school, and I notice this giant turd shaped thing on the top floor of the school by the stairs (there were only 2 floors). When I looked closer, I realized that it was a wasp nest. Specifically a mud nest, which are used by parasitoid wasps to hold host insects while the larvae slowly eat it alive! Then, I started thinking about what could have made it. And the only logical answer was this bee. Then, I thought about what the host insect was, and the only Florida insect that is big enough, is the palmetto bug. If you don’t know what that is, it’s a giant nocturnal roach.........WITH WINGS!! And then it hit me. All 3 sightings happened during A PALMETTO BUG INFESTATION!! And I realized just how perfectly it’s behavior and palmetto bug behavior line up: nocturnal, live generally high up, and are both MASSIVE!! I was planning to make a video on it over summer break once I caught a live specimen using a hornet trap filled with palmetto bugs, which I probably will still do seeing as this is probably a subspecies that has evolved after being taken here accidentally on a ship heading for America. So I will still consider myself the first one to see it since the sightings happened in 2009, and will probably make a video about it over summer break, so look out for that. I can finally prove to my friends that I’m not crazy!
