One of them is chill and just zooms around to pollinate. The other tries to get into every place I don’t want it to be violently and then starts stinging when it inevitably gets stuck. Wasps always try to get into my food, fly somewhere in my clothes where it’ll inevitably get stuck, fly into my face, etc.
I’ve been stung multiple times by both. Bees was always my full idiocy (I was obsessed with insects as a kid). Wasps was never my fault though, those cunts just put themselves in harms way only to “defend themselves” when the inevitable happens
I’ve never understood their habit of nervously circling around my food for ages like some sort of pendulum of ruined picknicks. Why risk a fight when you could just get your food and fuck off? You’d think aeons of evolution would have corrected that. Sure, who doesn’t like to take a sniff or two before digging in but wasps need to grow the fuck up.
Thing is it’s not actually wasps but just a few very specific kinds of wasps that are assholes ruining the reputation for all.
Something similiar happens for bees. When people talk about them being endangered nowadays they don’t mean the domesticated honey bees many think about (those are cared enough for that populations are rather growing) but the many kinds of wild (and often solitary) bees.
I feel like wasps seem more interested in both sweaty humans and our food compared to bees, so they get in your face in another way than bees do.
Our southern red brick wall houses a lot of red mason bees every year and even though they live just next to the porch they leave us be. I’ve had a tired bee take a break on my sun-warm shoulder once or twice, but that’s pretty much it.
But pretty much all the wasps I ever interact with. Idc about some other wild wasps that I never see because they’re chill and stay in the forest or something on their own.

Put themselves in harms way only to get angry about their choices and “forced to defend themselves”… why does that sound so familiar

Classic not all wasps apologist.
Yeah not all wasps.
