Short answer: Fuck them

Long answer: Too bad they're important for our ecosystem. But still, fuck them

great for a healthy ecosystem

but keep the hell away from them

They're cool af. Look at those colours! And the ergonomics.

I leave water bowls for them during summer.

They're not exactly friendly but when you observe them enough you can judge if you're annoying them and should gtfo. Most of the time they just mind their own business.

White, Anglo Saxon protestants are fine. I usually try to associate with atheists, agnostics, or the generally unchurched, but you do you, right?

Proof that god doesn't exist. Proof that if I'm wrong and god does exist, he's a fucking asshole not worthy of any worship.

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

They are good, but get the fuck out of my face!

I don't much care for them. They build their nests on my home, and they sting.

The world is better off without them.

I hate them. I fucking hate them.

Fire

I would love them if they had a concept of personal space, or a survival instinct that told them not to get up in someone biggers face.

As I've aged, I've lost the ability to hear them too, so now they love to sneak up on me.

wasps > mosquitos

It depends on whether were talking about Wasps the insects or WASPs the acronym.

Either way not a fan, but I guess the insects are alright as long as they're not in my house.

If they get near me? Death to them.

Otherwise? Go enjoy that environment bro

fuck em all

I'm fine with them until they start building their home on my home. You will die a breathless death with my spray if you build on my house.

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.

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've got a bunch of red wasps around my house, and they're assholes. They're okay most of the time, unless you get too close. Every so often, though, they will be aggressive as hell, attacking you if you're within maybe 20 feet.

They get an unfairly bad rap because some of them have the audacity to threaten humans right back. They're actually damn important species for all kinds of ecosystem processes that support other species less offensive to our sanitised, idealised view of nature.

Pricks.

I grew up in an area that had yellow jackets. Fuck those fuckers. Pure evil incarnate. They would land on my food while I'm trying to remove it from the barbecue. They would swarm me while cooking.

I later moved to an area that has huge and terrifying looking wasps, but they are pretty docile. I have caught my cat playing with one that got inside twice and neither time she got stung.

1st Worst: Mosquitoes
2nd Worst: Wasps
3rd Worst: Chiggers (that "red bug", technically a mite, like ticks)

Then all Australian wildlife approximatively

Annoying stinging fuckers, but they do serve an important role aside from being annoying stinging fuckers.

Hate most of the things, but some of them are cool. Mud daubers are friends

Best enjoyed at a distance.

A lot of wasps are totally harmless to humans! we have this really cute red stripey kind that constantly flies in figure eights over the ground, trying to detect Japanese Beetle larva to eat, for which I am grateful. I like wasps in general.

I tolerate them any time of day except when I’m sleeping.

We talking hornets too? Fucking fuck the bald face shit heads.

I have no quarrel with them.

hate those little fuckers

The species I'm familiar with, Polistes dominula, is cool: they hang out around noon looking for water sometimes, I splash some and they oblige. Sometimes they hang out where I'm doing stuff and they're calm and move if I gently shove them. They complain a bit when I trim leaves where they happen to be chilling, but fly away. Never stung. They are surprisingly polite and aware of you, plus they eat some pests and polinate stuff. Some other species are assholes, though :/

Beautiful insects with some fascinating behaviour. Just don't disturb them and you are fine

There are thousands of species, and almost all are either critical pollinators or predators on other insects, including mosquitoes and other flies. Only a few species are known to sting people when threatened, but they're some of the biggest and most visible wasps, so they're what people think about

I removed a small nest from my door frame a few months ago and one larva fell out. It landed on the hot concrete in the summer sun. I empathized and picked it up. I kept it in a jar with a paper towel under a lamp. I checked on it everyday and I thought that someday I'd set it free in my yard. I even daydreamed that it would immediately sting me when I let it go and that just made me laugh a bit. It eventually died and I put it on my bird feeder. I didn't watch and ai felt sad but it's gone now.
