I’m fine with bugs that don’t bother me. Around my house, I’ve got a ton of red paper wasps. They’re assholes. My mere existence makes me a threat worth stinging. Same for the rest of my family. They can go fuck themselves.

On the old site™️, they once shared a video of how someone killed a whole nest of wasps with gasoline. I commented how that was unnecessary animal cruelty (even illegal in Germany) and got downvoted into oblivion.
Gotta get that karma. 🫠 I’ve had that happen on there with things I research and I stopped bothering after a while. I look at it like a petri dish now.

Maybe i am just naïve but cant we just breed a fuckton of bumble and other more friendly bees to release around neighborhoods so to suppress wasp populations around humans.
Do wasps carry a role that cant be done by a different pollinator?
I get that we should strive for maximum bio diversity but the wasps where i live will literally land and crawl over your face. I can just about hold my breath and handle that, my kid cannot.

Wasps usually kill other bugs. So you might end up with more of the biting bugs without them.

TIL wasps kill spiders, (i looked it up). They are now my best friends. Wasps everywhere please. Genocide the spiders!!!
Wait then were gonna get mosquitoes……
I am starting to feel like maybe we should just let nature alone because it knows best… NAH, now that would be silly /s

Well, spiders, mosquitoes and ticks all play an important role as well ;)
In order to get less parasites maybe we should let the biosphere do its thing and through less disturbance we would probably be less affected as well.

Nope wasps were created by satan. They get super aggro during the start of the fall, they get desperate for food and have no problem attacking humans to get it.

Nothing against wasps, but they do not make honey.

Wasps are alright by me. If they hitch a ride you just have to wait for them to move on sometimes.

Never had issues with them. I’ve even picked them up from the pool with bare hands and they still wont sting.
