Wasps are coop as hell. Animals don't exist for you convenience
According to Lord Sauron, wasps are just trying to help, and are very misunderstood. Please let them into your house, they will reform.
If you're cold, they're cold - let them in.
I'd expect this but from Sky News Australia *squints*
IKR? a broken clock is right twice a day.
Maybe this is hippie talk, but I simply don't bother any animal. I don't need an article to tell me they deserve to exist.
What about disease spreading bloodsuckers? 👉🏻👈🏻
I get apprehensive around wasps too but it's very funny to me how much hatred and distrust these animals are met with because they are able to force you to treat them with a little respect
all wasps should be destroyed except for the ones that pollinate crops and can fly unassisted
Why?
European Wasps are an invasive species where I live and they're fucking up a lot of the local flora and fauna. Also "wasps" is a huge group of species and they're hard to generalise about
As a pest control professional, I assure you that wasps aren't trying to fuck you up. They get aggressive in the late season but for the most part they won't fuck with you unless you are a threat. I've knocked down countless wasp nests with my brush and only been stung a few times. Those times I got stung I was really asking for it by how I went about it. They're also accidental pollinators so they do help more than people think.
They’re also accidental pollinators so they do help more than people think.
I hear that, I did some things accidentally once, but the stubborn judge insisted I go on the register anyway!
Gotta be careful where you drop pollen these days.
They HAD their chance, and they used it to be assholes.
Sounds like Big Wasp propaganda
Wasps are actually pretty useful in nature, in contrast to the parasitic life form knows as homo sapiens.
I suppose you haven't heard of tarantula hawks if you think wasps aren't parasitic.
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice... Can't get fooled again.
I like the wasps around my house, they're Apache wasps I think. I've shooed them away, worked next to them, they just watch me or fly around. Seems I need to really try to anger them.
Mud daubers are cool too but their life cycle is nightmare fuel, I feel for the spiders.
We get lots of blue mud daubers where I live and I've seen people freak the fuck out over them.
Like guys, they will straight up never have business with you and their main prey is literally spiders if you have an irrational fear of them too
They're the bros of the wasp world. The dudes can't even sting, only the women, and they can take care of the young which is crazy rare. Yoi'd have to go out of your way to get bitten or stung.

Hell, many solitary vespids will fuck up other non-solitary wasps.
The other a felt a shooting pain on my hand out of nowhere. I look down and it’s a wasp. Fucker broke into my house and stung me outta nowhere. Bastard.
We have yellow jackets, and they're assholes. They'll fly up and sting you for no reason, and then fly away laughing.
Imagine a creature that makes you feel bad for spiders
Did you just paint that wasp in 20 minutes?
I absolutely did not; it's one of the first image search hits when searching for "wasp typing on a keyboard meme"
So you stole it? How dare you! You wouldn't kidnap a child!
Of course not! Children are annoying and expensive, not to mention the fact that they bring all sorts of bacteria and viruses home from school.
Just give wasp an entry level job bro, what’s the worst that could happen
