They’re cool af. Look at those colours! And the ergonomics.
I leave water bowls for them during summer.
They’re not exactly friendly but when you observe them enough you can judge if you’re annoying them and should gtfo. Most of the time they just mind their own business.
That’s pretty dope.
I just think many humans don’t grasp the concept that we can also piss something else off and should gtfo out of their area.
Especially since we make more and more parts of this planet our areas.
Other than mosquitoes, wasps are the only other bug I know that will seek you out because they need protein and have the means to take it from you. Most other bugs will try and avoid you.
They are doubly bad in that they can make life hell for larger wildlife. They are relentless and result in pain and irritation akin to torture. I see them on deer and horses often where they will focus on their ears with multiple wasps taking bites in the same location.
I see the necessity of every bug in a ecosystem that evolved over millions of years but that is the one and only bug that I think has less impact IMO while really making a hard existence even more difficult. I do nothing to help them exsist.
The world is better off without them.
They are good, but get the fuck out of my face!
Yellowjackets are annoying, but I got a colony of 5-banded Wasps that conglomerate on my trees every late summer- hundreds of males just hanging out, showing off their sweet bods while the ladies fly by perusing selections for mating. They’re chill AF and not a pain.
But I mean, there are over a hundred thousand wasp species, and Yellowjackets are what most people think of when you say “wasp”, but as annoying as they are, don’t let them color your opinions on the otherd
I like them! They’ve got a great style and they’re perfectly chill when people aren’t trying to swat them. I always let them land on my hand so I can look at them.
You can shoo them away from food a few times and they’ll generally just go elsewhere.
Since I was stung three times out of nowhere, one time just by sitting around, not moving at all: Nope, the moment they try landing on me I freak out.
Your approach is definitely a popular one, although I don’t advise it.
I wouldn’t call freaking out an approach unless you answered the wrong OP
approach: the method used or steps taken in setting about a task, problem, etc
Yeah, I am using that word right! British humour is dry, btw.
For sure, but in written text not obvius enough for me in many cases.
It depends on whether were talking about Wasps the insects or WASPs the acronym.
Either way not a fan, but I guess the insects are alright as long as they’re not in my house.
fuck em all
Annoying stinging fuckers, but they do serve an important role aside from being annoying stinging fuckers.
I’m fine with them until they start building their home on my home. You will die a breathless death with my spray if you build on my house.
Pricks.
They give me the hair raising creeps but I leave them alone unless they invade my house.
We talking hornets too? Fucking fuck the bald face shit heads.
Bzzzz
We talking hornets too? Fucking fuck the bald face shit heads.
Rather rude to group them all together like that. If we’re talking mud daubers or paper wasps, we’re totally chill.
Ground-nesting yellowjackets get the boiling water and dish soap treatment in the dead of the night if they’re in the yard. I’ve had too many cases of cleaning up yard debris and suddenly getting attacked by the little bastards to attempt peaceful coexistence.
