Heyyyyy! Don't take away my childhood dangerous dare game!
....and sometimes there would be so many around they would chase us when we wasp-stomped

Mud Daubers- Mud daubers are solitary wasps. Each female constructs a clump of mud cells. There is no worker caste. In the spring, young adults come out of their nests and mate. The female then build mud-cell nests. After she completes the nest she captures about 20 spiders, paralyzing each with her sting as she catches it. Spiders are stored in the cell and she lays an egg on one of the spiders and caps the cell with clay. This is repeated until she has built one nest containing 6 to 20 cells. She may then build other nests in other locations. Once a nest is finished, she leaves it and never returns. The larvae hatch from the eggs and feed on the paralyzed spiders. Complete development takes place in the cell. One to three generations can develop in a year. When a wasp stings it injects a venomous fluid under the skin. The venom causes a painful swelling that may last several days. In some cases a wasp sting may cause severe illness or even death.

Funny thing though...last summer I grounded my son for collecting slugs and pouring salt on them in the driveway!

I caught flies and kill them and stick a needle in their eyeballs and than throw them in spiders webs, and take spiders out of their webs with a stick and put the spider in another spider web and watch the battle begin, I was such an evil child

We torched ants with a magnifying glass! After reading Stephen King's "Under the Dome" recently, I feel pretty damn guilty.
