Hi Spam!
So here is an ode, an Ode to Spamily:
Spam, we got it
Its Spamily all the way
tons of love, waves of babies, near and far away
music making work at homes
creative moms and pops
sun loving, God adoring, I give you all mad props
Life can be hard, the future unsure
But Spamily conquers all
Our Love, our faith, our friendship, Spamily! Here's to ya'll!

look @ this giant wasp! eeek!
I guess it's a tarantula hawk. Le's avoid them, shall we?
wiki:
The stinger of a female tarantula hawk can be up to 1/3 inch (7 mm) long, and delivers a sting which is rated among the most painful in the insect world.
... the sting, particularly of Pepsis formosa, is among the most painful of any insect, but the intense pain only lasts for about 3 minutes.[3]
Commenting on his own experience, one researcher described the pain as "…immediate, excruciating pain that simply shuts down one's ability to do anything, except, perhaps, scream. Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations."[4]
In terms of scale, the wasp's sting is rated near the top of the Schmidt Sting Pain Index, second only to that of the bullet ant and is described by Schmidt as "blinding, fierce [and] shockingly electric".[5] Because of their extremely large stingers, very few animals are able to eat them; one of the few animals that can is the roadrunner.
