I mean it is on Sky News.
And where are wasps at, remember?

Meanwhile, the wasp in my house...

Most species of wasp are not aggressive towards humans. I work out in my garden a lot and almost never have encounters with aggressive wasps--the only time I really do is when yellow jackets create a nest in an area that I haven't been to in a while.

I mean it's a known fact that WASPs rule the media.

"Harrrryyyyyy!'

if sky news says they're beneficial they're probably trying to fuck you out of your retirement plan or something

They're all vicious assholes that get irritated by the most mundane things so I'm gonna expect them to sting me and they have for no reason that I could tell... Also these look like yellow jackets, which are particularly annoying but not as annoying as the 4 species of hornets battling for territory around my old house. I think bumblebees are cute though they will boop you and not try to kill you.

This does have the vibe of those pro-billionaire articles the Washington Post puts out...

Wasps are great. I love watching them fuck with this friend of mine. He makes any encounter with them a million times worse with his absurd flailing. One time it rusulted in him getting stung on the back and I nearly died laughing. He was a stroppy bastard for the rest of the day because of that.

Compromise, we eradicate yellow jackets

I love having wasps around my garden. They fly around my veggies picking off any caterpillars they see, I don't even use pesticides because the wasps do such a good job keeping the populations low.

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.

I'd expect this but from Sky News Australia *squints*

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.

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

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 HAD their chance, and they used it to be assholes.
