It’s almost my birthday. What is the number 1 thing that surprised me the most this year?

Nope, it’s NOT the Covid-19 theatre around the world. [Кругом война, а я в ромашках].

It’s me unexpectedly losing my fear of wasps!

(Cue in the perfectly suited annoying royalty-free music that conveniently came with my video editor).

Ok, so just when I put that manta ray in Dubai on my list of most unexpected animals who saught my attention this year, I accidentally “adopted” a wasp.

Recently I’ve had a couple of situations back-to-back where a wasp would unexpectedly fly around me here in Toronto for several minutes while ignoring everyone else.

Back in the old days I’d be running away in terror but since I’ve been growing my animal healing and communication abilities (hello, 6th house stellium, astrologically speaking!), the fear just started vanishing.

So while I was out and about sitting down on a bench along Yonge street and a wasp circling around me, I thought to myself: “Fine, if another wasp makes intentional contact, I’ll start researching the meaning!”.

Sure enough, days later I’m working on the balcony (facing a subway station so the greenery is on the other side of the condo at a fair distance from me), and out of nowhere this wasp shows up and hangs around me for about 10 minutes until I get annoyed and go back inside.

Oddly enough, that’s when I noticed that I was no longer scared of it.

For 3 days in a row it kept coming back to the same balcony! No joke.

This time, I had a plate of rasberries on the balcony table so I casually invited the wasp to have some for a small price of getting its permission to use the video footage you see here, for any commercial needs. Cause you just never know when someone in Hollywood might need a live video of a wasp feasting on raspberry water.

I know, this is where you go “she needs to go see her real human friends” but you see, my close friends aren’t big animal lovers. So that’s not where I went. I went inside and closed the fly screen door, and stood inside the apartment saying out loud: “meh, now it’s gonna want to come inside!”.

And that’s when I could no longer ignore what was happening because the wasp followed me to the screen door and started banging its body against it in an attempt to get inside.

So I asked the wasp a-la-annoyed-Dr.Doolittle style: “Alright, what do you want? Relax and tell me.”

I squated down and brought my finger to the left bottom corner of the screen door. The wasp followed my finger on the other side of the door, to the corner.

I told it that now I’m paying attention and will start my investigation. That’s when it flew away and never returned.

And so I investigated. One day, I will reveal what rabbit hole my wasp led me to.
