And then I woke up yesterday morning to find these in a Rubbermaid container on my kitchen table.
We came home from a weekend away to find our sprinklers inexplicably turned on in the evening. After an hour, we decided there was something wrong with the timer. After Brian got the water shut off, he cracked open the timer box and we immediately backed off because there were hornets everywhere in there! It was still pretty light and warm, so Brian waited a few hours before going back out to kill them off (thank you, thank you, thank you wonderful hornet killer spray). I didn't really think about it after that.And then I found them on my kitchen table. That's exactly what you want to see first thing in the morning, right? After trying really hard to make appreciative noises while Brian excitedly showed me the dead larvae (ugh!), I made him take the container to the garage because apparently we can't just toss them in the garbage. He wants to keep them. And he took pictures. Unfortunately for any who are interested in these things, I made him take them outside before he got a picture of the container. These are the moments when I realize that all men never really get rid of that inner boy who loves bugs.

That is SERIOUSLY SOOOO GROSS!!! I'm with you Steph!!!
Can I say again how happy I am that we have moved. That is super gross. I don't even want to know what was in our sprinkler box?!
Yes I do agree with you---and by the way I love the new name of your blog it is quite fitting-hope that you are cooling off some and that the bugs are not bugging you anymore
Not a good thing to wake up to. I guess it could have been worse. I mean, they could have only been faking being dead and were now alive and angry. Or they could have come back from the dead and been zombie hornets. That would really suck. So just look at how much worse it could have been. :)
