I saved a wasp from my pool the other day and it spent a few minutes just rubbing its head and body before flying off. So I assume so.

Why would you save a wasp???

[-] KittenBiscuits@lemm.ee 25 points 2 months ago

I've rescued wasps from the pool as well even though they & I are mortal enemies. 1) it was in the water with me & I didn't want it considering me a liferaft, and 2) smushing it was not an option. It flew away, hopefully to tell its brothers that I'm worthy of a brief ceasefire.

Idk. They've never really bothered me and its wasp season in my city.

I don’t like to see any living thing suffer, even the mean stuff

they are very useful outside : pollinate, chasing bugs, cleaning corpses

Umm... I would hope the last one shouldn't be exceptionally useful to you
