It's being visited by a U.F.I.?

Wheels said: It's being visited by a U.F.I.?
Indeed. What's more, the U.F.I. will mess with the poor earthling's* sexual organs before departing. (*Not to imply that the U.F.I. isn't from earth, I just thought "earthling" was more evocative than "plant.")

Trigonid bee, maybe it's Trigona fulviventris, the most common Trigona in Costa Rica
