Sounds like something a wasp would say
Wasps are actually pretty cool by in large. I've only been stung twice by them. Once when I was a kid and it sucked and also don't remember what I was doing. The most recent time was a few weeks ago. They built a nest in the control area of a dryer I was selling. I stuck my hand right up in their nest, and felt what I thought was electric shocks despite this dryer being unplugged for a few days. I don't blame them and the pain subsided in minutes(also wasn't very bad to begin with). And they are a critical player in agricultural pest control. I run into wasps all the time and have only been stung twice in forty years. Wasps, like spiders, are bros as far as I'm concerned.
Alas, I legitimately have spheksophobia. I appreciate their role in nature, but I don't want them anywhere near me.
That's fair. But as someone who rarely gives a fuck about my own, let alone others around me, safety. They seem timid to sting. I've been stung as many times by bees, and only when I was young and extremely reckless.
But you do you homie. Please just don't kill non ground dwellers haphazardly.
