Ovispa

A Murcian regional term for a wasp. The word is a pun on obispo (bishop), leading to humorous descriptions of the insects as being religious or monastic (in the local Murcian dialect, the initial a is often replaced by an o).

I am allergic: if one of those ovispas stings me, we will have to go to the hospital.
