its a "coepsiltishnai scepta", latin word of course.... Version of a yellow jacket........................ Actually i have no clue, but in our house it would have had a glass placed over it. When i get home at nite, theres usually a glass or two on the floor with a spider or bug inside it. Then i have to "moosh" them and give the bug a proper burial in the toilet!

fly swatter wasnt big enough, the electronic fly swatter only stunned him, ended up using the thesarus and then he was still kicking.
