I'm fine with bugs that don't bother me. Around my house, I've got a ton of red paper wasps. They're assholes. My mere existence makes me a threat worth stinging. Same for the rest of my family. They can go fuck themselves.

Yeah I am a proponent of wasps but some of the paper wasps can be really mean. I mostly live around mud daubers and the like who are very chill and just hang out in my front yard

Oh yeah, I've got mud daubers, too. They're cool; they don't mess with me, and I don't mess with them. It's really just those big, red assholes (and the occasional yellow jacket) that are problematic.
