    Wasps aren’t evil. They are important pollinators and they are literally just hanging out. I am sick and tired of the wasp hate.

        They are quite aggressive when there are no more flowers/nectar in the end of summer. They don’t store “food” like bees do, they just have nothing so they want your bologna

          That’s not really the case. The adult wasps are vegetarian, they may drink your soda, but your bologna does nothing for them. They want your bologna for their carnivorous larvae - it’s for the children.

              Many of them get drunk off fermenting fruit then go around and sting shit in a drunken stupor.

      Thank you for pointing this out. I was planning to do the same. Wasps are important for the ecosystem in many ways.

      And they are at the very least annoying af. Maybe not ‘all’ wasps but the ones you notice for sure.

      Just go eat my ice cream but quit buzzing around my head like an idiot.

      Believe me, I love nature and there are very few animals, even insects, I cannot abide, but wasps are one of the few.
