I have taken a lot of pictures of bumblebees, honey bees, red wasps, and paper wasps where the camera was inches away from them. I've never been stung by any of them. We used my wife's new camera to zoom in while keeping our distance for pictures of these.

I found a site online about them, but as of 2011, there were no reports of European Paper Wasps in Texas. That was six years ago, and most sites are as believable as mythical unicorns being the next major meat food source.
I have seen armadillos in Oklahoma when books said they weren't there.
Several other critters around places they shouldn't be.
One time I saw a sidewinder cross the road in the western part of Oklahoma.

Just like a tornado if a trained qualified person doesn't see it then it was a possible tornado.
Really.
