Must be the vigilante wasps. Tourists would have exposed tattoos on their bodies. via DM iPad app

Locals have tattoos as well! Why not get out the Mortein and be done with this menace?

I was attacked by wasps when I climbed Sigiriya some years ago with my cousin brother & his British born wife, one wasp had gone inside my ear, had to drive upto Dambulla hospital to take it out and for treatment, thereafter I was unconscious for some hours. I escaped death due to Gods mercy. When I went to Tourist board in Colombo to inform some short comings & lack of help, I was chased away by a high ranking offer, Yes very soon there would be a Travel warning for Tourists visiting Sigiriya. Then it would be too late...

This is crazy, whoever the idiot is who said that the wasps can't be eradicated should be stung by them.

this is really bad impression about srilankan tourism , and wasp sting is more dangerous if they got severe allergies. that is better to provide safety dressing or covering kit to people when they climb the sigiriya. its urgent
