I've never understood why people think wasps are so aggressive. At least where I live. They are curious like a bumblebee although slightly more persistent in hanging around.

If I am eating food, I leave a bit for them just within arms reach so they feast on that rather than what I'm eating.

They seem pretty chill if you're willing to share your space and food with them.

Do you live on Big Rock Candy Mountain or possibly heaven itself?

Where I live the wasps are complete fucking assholes and will murder your whole family on accident because they're such dicks. Also - do they not kill bees? They kill bees. They kill bees. They have chosen violence.

(Yeah, wasps made an enemy for life, one who knows how to use a jar half full of gasoline. Sucks to be them, they should have thought about the consequences of their actions, but they chose poorly.)

That sounds like extortion though.

My future allies for the future water wars kindly disagree :)
