I had a dream that me and my professor went into the graveyard/jungle and found a giant golf ball-sized wasp which had been the founding species of a now long extinct human-equivalent sentient being.

The wasp looked more like a furry golfball with a bloated carapace, with creases where the abdomen split from other features.
My professor, who has wearing a pith helmet, grabbed the stinger and it roared to life with a deafening buzzing. As it tried to escape, he drew it towards the tip of his nose whereupon little insectoid arms extended in an attempt to give itself leverage. I panicked.. thinking... knowing.. that it would bite him with what must've been enormous, hidden pincers. He smiled and pulled it away from his face. I calmed.

As he did removed the threat, the buzzing increased in pitch and strength. Almost imperceptibly slowly, it began pulling away from his hand trailing an astonishingly long yellow intestine which hideously curled around a deep red cord of sinew. The narrowing of the intestine indicated that the tension was near breaking point, nearly a foot of its bowels were ready to snap.

The image was nauseating, and then...he let go. The resulting gurgle it made as it retracted the entire length into its body was bonechilling. But even more so, the realization that the animal was now completely intact and mad as shit put the fear of god in me. I saw it briefly as it zipped around but it was too fast to track or avoid. My ears let me know its position and then the fuzzy collision on my neckline told me that it just flew down my shirt.

I woke up screaming.
