Green ones? In my neighborhood, they’re black.

And they do sting!

Perhaps you should call your doctor and make an appointment. He/she may want to prescribe an antibiotic.

Seriously.

Yes. They were green, with clusters of spines on their backs. Parents in the neighborhood called them "asps." That was a few decades ago. Insects and other small animal populations tend to change there from time to time. ...used to be gobs of horned toads there (not to mention the armies of plain, old toads that came out of the ground during heavy rains), and chameleons. ...lot of venomous things that sting and bite in tropical areas.
