- CWuestefeld 15y agoI ran into these when camping a couple of years ago, and they freaked me out as well: a wasp as big as your pinky, with wings beating hard enough that they'd blow around the sand when close to the ground.. And they lived in burrows that happened to be under the campsite's firepit, where I was cooking! But a ranger explained to me what they were, and over the rest of the weekend they never actually bothered us.
