107. I have had similar experiences with wasps when I was a kid
My parents' house had an attic that I would use to "escape" into fantasy. During the summer, it would attract many wasps. I was always fascinated by them and "talked" to them while I played in the attic. They never bothered me even when I was close to them.

One time, I found a hurt wasp in my backyard, and nursed it back to health (or so I thought). I had made a bed for it and everything.

I have always had very strong connections to animals to the point that people will comment about it. I have never thought of it as strange. Thanks for sharing.
