Like they bite, or they're super fragile?
- chongli 3y agoTheir (cobalt blue’s) bite is extremely painful! Causes severe muscle cramps and inflammation. They also happen to be very aggressive if you try to handle them, so you’re likely to get bitten.

- flangola7 3y agoTheir bite is much worse than a wasp sting. Unlikely to cause death or serious injury in an adult with no allergies, but the pain can be excruciating and last for many hours, and lesser symptoms for days. We usually do not prescribe muscle relaxers or opiates for a wasp sting.
- pvaldes 3y agoThey bite, they are super fragile, and some have urticating hairs that release freely if feel threatened and you don't want in your skin or floating around your room.
