I'm fine with bugs that don't bother me. Around my house, I've got a ton of red paper wasps. They're assholes. My mere existence makes me a threat worth stinging. Same for the rest of my family. They can go fuck themselves.
Calm unless the nest is threatened, but their interpretation of "threatened" is like just walking nearby
A wasp stung me once 10 years ago so I now murder all wasps' nests I see on sight.
Shouldn't have fucked with the insect equivalent of an eldritch god with the power to wipe out your entire colony with a spray can.
I've had a yellowjacket nest next to my window for years and they never bothered me. Now I occasionally get these fucking huge hornets flying into my house but they are pretty chill too, they immediately understand they've taken a wrong turn and look for a way out
I had a nest outside my bedroom windows for years once, it was just fun watching them do their thing.
Yeah? I've been stung for literally no reason at least once (one little shit ran directly into me and stung me while I was painting my porch), otherwise a couple of times one of these little bastards got caught under my arm and it 'defended' itself due to its own stupidity. I hate wasps. I want to see them gone.
Hymenoptera means "membrane wing" which I think is pretty neat.
I am quite afraid of bees and wasps, but I know how to be chill around them and haven't been stung yet. This is good because I also love them.
I can’t blame them for not understanding the significance of human communications infrastructure, but I wish they wouldn’t set up camp in poorly tended mailboxes. Granted, ants are worse about this by some distance. (I’ve also had to deal with small birds while delivering)
All things considered, though, they’re cool if you give them an appropriate berth
