    Wasps. Been around for a very long time. Important pollinator and pest control. So many different types of them all over from tiny ones to f-ing huge.

    But why do you want to annoy me when I’m just trying to eat my picnic!! Just leave me alone!!! Fun fact bees are vegetarian wasps.

    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.

            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.

    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

    My opinion is that I respect them as living creatures going about their life and as an important part of the ecosystem but also they need to stay the fuck away from me.
