wasp behavior


If you open the car window , a wasp will generally fly right out or you can bat it out--or they hide-- in my experience,they don't keep flying at you in the car.

Most flying insects I've dealt with in a vehicle are dancing along the window, trying to get out, so of course, the occupant's first inclination is to lower the window asap.

I did wonder why he didn't seem to know about that.

Unless the insect stung him, which it seems the detectiving would have learned in an autopsy, not up on the sting ratio staying in a corpse, I don't see why swatting at a wasp would lead to such a distration that he would ninety degree like that on the road.

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I havent found this many loose ends-loopholes in a program I enjoyed so much since Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte, with Bette Davis and Olivia Dehavilland.

Actually its not the wasp/bee flying around that caused the accident. It was his swatting at it. I went to high school with a girl who was paralized because she freaked out when a bee was in her car and she swatted at it and wrecked her car. If you leave it alone it most likely will stay by the window, but if you keep swatting at it.... of course it is going to dodge your hand.

I witnessed a fatal accident involving a dump trunk crossing the center line. A bee had stung the driver and whether it was panic or anaphylactic shock, he lost control of his vehicle, crashed head-on into a car and both drivers were killed.

So I didn't see it as a plot hole or unheard-of behavior.
