The bottom picture doesn’t make the top picture any less true.

Also, wasps will just sting you because “fuck you.” Fuck that. Burn in heck.
I don’t think I was ever stung by a wasp, and I even held one in my hand once.
i’ve met some friendly wasps, heck i’ve met more friendly wasps then the evil ones
They don’t do that with me. A wasp stung me once because it was in my shoe, so I was obviously perceived as a threat when trying to put it on. I think there was another time but I don’t remember, I might’ve touched it first as well. The rest of the time, wasps seem to respect me, and it’s mutual. I’ve had wasps centimetres away from my face, but I never flinch and I’ve never regretted not flinching. Took more hits from people trying to kill wasps than from the wasps themselves.
And I’ve had a wasp sting me just because I deserve to get fucked, I suppose. It just flew up, landed on my hand, sting me, then fucked off back to whichever circle of hell whence it emerged. There were dozens of other people around, but the allergic teenager was the only one who needed to have their weekend ruined.
I was camping with some friends ( all around 13 years old ) and one of my friends, the only allergic one in the group, sat on a wasp nest that was attached to a piece of trunk. The poor guy was stung all over. Luckily we were nearby a hospital and we were able laugh it off a few days later.
The wasp stings me to protect its family, I kill the wasp to protect mine. Glad it’s me who’s the giant.
That was the one that made me realize I’d outgrown the series. Dunno if old RL was really phoning that one in or what, but one of his chapter cliffhangers ended with “and the dragonfly bit me in half!” Then the next chapter started with “But it was just my imagination.”
Common wasp and germanicus vespula (european wasp) are both considered pest. Both dont pollinate. And both kill and destroy other friendly species when they do not harass you to steal your food. Same for asiatic and common hornet.
All other wasp and hornet like the blue hornet are friendly and help the ecosystem. But you will rarely encounter them cause they let you the fuck alone and mind their own business…
They ARE in fact both pollinators! I get the wasp hate, but they are rather misunderstood, that’s what the meme is about! Depending on the region you live in, learn which wasp and bee species are invasive in your area and support the native ones (including the common wasp and germanicus vespula).
