Maybe a wasp but more likely a bull ant got into your pocket, one of the nastier species like a Jack Jumper or the big ones I know as inch ants. What you found may have been a mandible and the bite caused a typical amount of inflammation. If you were hypersensitive to Jack Jumpers (a few percent of people are) and didn't know it, it could have been a medical emergency. A climbing partner of mine has to carry an EpiPen at all times when climbing, etc, although she's now undergoing a desensitisation program. |
