Wasps are amazing. Wasps are beautiful. Sure, they might kill honeybees and eat them but they're just sooo cute! They're like little weaponized bees in armor, but they're sweeter than sugar underneath.
Seriously, when you put a little jam or sugar water on your finger and they come to eat it it's like a little hoover just tickling your finger and that's okay.
Yeah sorry that happened today and my heart has been stolen <333

They're cute when they're not trying to attack me because I came within 20 meters of their hive or they want my apples but I don't want to share :P

[i]We're killing bees faster anyway...[/i] But they look so cute with their spy goggle eyes and their sleek leotard bodies.

I have a couple Spring Tiphia nests on my house. They are the only wasp species my mother likes because they eat Japanese beetles.

Damn as someone working in a lab with insects and knowing people who study hymenoptera, this isn't really true. Wasps of all shapes and sizes are [i]incredibly[/i] important pollinators and insects in the ecosystem!
I agree though they're so cool and I love them even if they can be truly terrifying predators! Their nests are so cool (mud wasps? Paper wasps?) and they can come in so many shapes and sizes!

Wasps are really important to the ecosystem, like mosquitoes. Pollination, population control, etc etc. They terrify me but like, I'll mind my business if they mind theirs. Their coloration are super duper pretty though!

Good to see more appreciation for them.
I’ve never had any problems with them and can’t understand why people hate them so much.
