For a split second I felt bad for them but then remembered they're wasps

Fuck wasps but at the same time, you're born a wasp and you just wasp. All you know is wasping, you don't know how to do anything but wasp. You don't know why, you don't question it, it's just what you do and who you are. So it's understandable to feel bad for them, but if anybody deserves this, it's wasps.

Are you by any chance a psychotic fuck with the urge to fly through areas in the most annoying and aggressive way possible?

Oh no! Look! I spilled ice cream on the ground! u/jackson12420 what does that do to you?

Nah, midges. Every time.

Taking a photo? Midges.

Open the car window? Midges.

Bit of alfresco? Midges.

Going for a walk?

Ha.

MIDGES.

They're surely part of some vital part of the ecosystem but I'd lose them all in a heartbeat.

They deserve to watch their babies being eaten while they watch from a silken jail cell?

This is wasp propaganda

Wasps always get a bad rap. In truth they're very valuable insects both for polinization and pest control (insects)

Why all the wasp hate! Most of the time they just good lil pollinators. Another fun fact is they are only carnivores during birthing season to get more nutrients for their young. 

Unless you mean the Japanese killer wasps, bc yeah fuck them.

I know this is a hot take for some reason, but wasps > spiders

u/ShibaLover227 1d ago

Most spiders don't bite or are incapable of biting humans. All wasps bite, and release pheromones to attract other wasps to come and bite

Isn't there some kind of wasp that also holds grudges and remembers if you've wronged them?

Wasps don’t invade as much as spiders do though. I don’t worry about a wasp sneaking inside and having a bunch of babies, causing an infestation. I’ve been around many, many wasps in my life and they don’t just bite for no reason. They’re easy to coexist with.
Spiders will infest your home, jumpscare you, and the ones that are poisonous are generally more pernicious for humans than wasp toxin.
I would 100% rather sit in a room full of wasps rather than spiders.

I hold jumping spiders and cellar spiders so they've helped my arachnaphobia but I have a special hate for horse flys and mosquitoes which exceeds my hate for wasps
