After I got this one out of my friend’s hair, she decided she really liked me and was going to live on my finger forever. Took a while to convince her that there were better places for her.

Sir John Lubbock (1834-1913), the first Lord Avebury, was a banker, politician, naturalist and Trustee of the Natural History Museum, and from 1872 to 1873, he kept a pet wasp.

"Gradually she became quite used to me, and when I took her on my hand, apparently expected to be fed. She even allowed me to stroke her without any appearance of fear, and for some months I never saw her sting.”
