Agreed. Wasps, on the other hand, are flying terrorists, and must be squashed into a fine paste on sight
Many species of wasp are important pollinators
And now they’ve pollinated my shoe with their guts.
Seriously though, you’re right, but when a bee comes into my home I catch and release, when a wasp invades it’s search and destroy. While screaming terrified of course
Just cup your hand and smack it out of the air, it’ll be stunned for a bit and you can grab a wing a huck it somewhere else. You get to slap a wasp and you’re not a random bug murderer.
You’ve just made me a more effective bug murderer, you fool
I generally grab a cup or bowl and cover it if it’s a hornet, but most wasps won’t even sting me if I’m gentle while taking them outside, the vast majority of wasps are quite docile unless you bother their nests
Sounds like you’ve never seen a yellowjacket. Those things are super nasty by default, don’t even have to be anywhere near their nests.
Had them living under my porch a while, used to sit out there and watch them buzz around
right, hear me out though.
squish
edit: some wasps are chill though to be fair. Mud wasps are doppy little guys who just kinda bop around. They get the cup
i use chemical weapons against wasps because they don’t deserve the geneva convention. those anti-wasp sprays are the shit, you can blow them out of the sky with them
This is the way.
More like accidental pollinators that could easily be replaced by doing a better job protecting bees.
Should clarify, though: I specifically mean (anti)social wasps, the ones who build hives and go around harassing everyone. Solitary wasps are pretty chill afaik so they can stay.
What do you mean accidental? Do you think bees are purposely going and pollinating plants? The pollination happens as a side effect of bees gathering nectar, same as wasps
Nah, wasps probably just accidentally land in pollen on their way to ruining someone’s day on purpose 😛
wasps as in actual stinging wasps (like yellowjackets and hornets) or just their close relatives that are (mostly) harmless to humans?
All of the above, yellow jackets are important pollinators as well.
and ticks. and gnats. and mosquitos. awful, every one of em.
Just put em in a cup and let it outside, its got mosquitoes to eat.
The other day I hit a cockroach that was in a wall and stomped it twice. I stopped because my friend said it could get splatted and leave a stain on the floor.
I may be a psicho
Fuck spiders, kill them all. Extermination is the final solution to the arthropod problem. MAMMAL PRIDE WORLD WIDE
I almost misinterpreted this comment and experienced rage, but I caught myself just in time.
Yes, as a fellow arachnophile I agree that exterminating everything that would bring harm to our precious kin is likely our #1 priority.
Fuck the spiders!!!
Kill spiders. Behead spiders. Roundhouse kick a spider into the concrete. Slam dunk a spider larva into the trashcan. Crucify filthy arachnids. Defecate in a spider’s food. Launch spiders into the sun. Stir fry spiders in a wok. Toss spiders into active volcanoes. Urinate into a spider’s gas tank. Judo throw spiders into a wood chipper. Twist spiders’ heads off. Report spiders to the IRS. Karate chop spiders in half. Curb stomp pregnant arachnid spiders. Trap spiders in quicksand. Crush spiders in the trash compactor. Liquefy spiders in a vat of acid. Don’t eat spiders. Dissect spiders. Exterminate spiders in the gas chamber. Stomp spider skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate spiders in the oven. Lobotomize spiders. Mandatory abortions for spiders. Grind spider larvae in the garbage disposal. Drown spiders in fried chicken grease. Vaporize spiders with a ray gun. Kick old spiders down the stairs. Feed spiders to alligators. Slice spiders with a katana. It’s time for total spider death.
“Homer Simpson says, ‘Do’h’, not ‘B’oh!’”
Well you see, this isn’t Homer Simpson.
And I was just quoting a Simpsons episode.
What’s the source? I love it!
It’s Megg Mogg & Owl by Simon Hanselmann
Thanks a lot!
