No. Nonono. Kill them. All of them. I won’t have it. And don’t try to convince me with your pollinator shit. I won’t have it. This is personal. Every one if those erratic stinging motherfuckers shall die.

There’s a huge number of different species of wasp, which vary greatly in size. The smallest wasps are the smallest known insects; they’re literally smaller than a millimeter. With many of them, you wouldn’t know they were wasps if you didn’t have a microscope.

In addition to pollinating, many wasps either eat or parasitize other insects. Yellowjackets will hunt horse flies, and there’s assorted wasps that are sold to farmers to control various pests…

> Do any wasps make honey?

> No. Adult wasps drink nectar from flowers but don’t turn it into honey. They feed their young by laying eggs inside prey.

This is pretty awesome when it comes to tomato horn worms.

My two most notable encounters with yellow jackets (here we call them European wasps or Vespula Germanica) went pretty much like this:

oh shit, there’s a wasp buzzing around on my path. Act cool, don’t show your fear, just move on and nothing will happen

Wasp: stings

You bitch, just go extinct already

In my experience, most wasps are okay.

Yellow jackets are straight up sadistic assholes however.

It really seems to make a difference what time of year it is. End of the summer they’re just waiting to die and do not give a single fuck and will sting you for no reason sometimes.

Yeah that sounds like the wasps we have here in Germany. Bastards, all of them, zero redeeming qualities whatsoever.

That’s one of the worst nightmares I could come up with, if given the task…

Drawing is accurate, if bound to feature in my nightmares. (Anti)social wasps are flying terrorists and we’re better off without them. Solitary wasps are cool, though, they can stay.
