Bees are like carpenters, they carry a knife but you're not worried they might stab you for no reason.
Wasps are like meth heads.
They're like meth head gang members that also call their gang to attack you after they do. That's what terrifies me of them.
yeah, nature does not owe you safety, which is why i kill wasps on sight because I'm part of nature. get fucked, wasps, we all know you're just fascist bees.
More wasp propaganda. Nature does not owe me safety. My house siding is NOT NATURE. I WILL REVEL IN THEIR DEATH THROES.
Bees, wasps, ok, got it.
But mosquitoes? I'be yet to find a biologist that would advocate for preservation of mosquitos. Kill them with fire.
Mosquitos are one of the most prolific pollinators, I think you’d find most biologists would tell you this.

Shitty wasps like Yellow Jackets give almost all the other wasps a bad reputation. Yellow Jackets are mean and spiteful, even when they aren't protecting their nest.
Most other eusocial wasps are pretty docile, unless you mess with their nest or really go out of your way to harass them.
In many parts of the world, like my own, there are far more species of solitary wasps than eusocial wasps. Solitary wasps are nearly all non-aggressive, they don't have communal nests to defend, and they basically don't have time to fuck around with stinging shit because they are too busy building a chamber for their eggs, collecting food for their upcoming progeny, and trying to stay fed and hydrated while doing it.
So what I'm getting at is that most wasps I encounter on a regular basis are pretty chill. Really, this goes for bees as well. Most of the ones I see on a regular basis are solitary types and non-aggressive. The most aggressive bees I tend to encounter are male carpenter bees. They are highly territorial and they'll even buzz a human to scare them off. However, there's no threat. Male bees and wasps cannot sting, they do not even have stingers.

No threat of stinging, anyway. They will absolutely wreak havoc on a wood framed house.

Yes, sir, I see you. I see your little pile of sawdust on the fence, too. No, I'm not going to screw with it. I'm just installing this gate latch."

This would go a lot faster if I didn't have to keep ducking.

Okay, I'm done, jeez.

...aaaaand under the fascia board it goes. Shit.
Of course nature doesn't owe us safety. That's why it's up to us to ensure our own safety by killing it with fire.
listen, i didn't ask to be born with a functional aversion to isopods and insects in general, ok.
I didn't want this shit, but i got it anyway.

What about ticks?
it's kinda funny how the core issue of these posts is really just that people say "wasp" when they mean "hornet"
wasps are fine, most wasps are barely noticable and couldn't give less of a toss about our existence.
hornets are the terrible ones, especially the kinds that grow way way way way larger than they have any right of doing, at least craneflies have the common decency to be thin and seemingly incapable of guiding their flight.
I will not stand for this Pro wasp propaganda!
