I like the wasps around my house, they're Apache wasps I think. I've shooed them away, worked next to them, they just watch me or fly around. Seems I need to really try to anger them.
Mud daubers are cool too but their life cycle is nightmare fuel, I feel for the spiders.
We have yellow jackets, and they're assholes. They'll fly up and sting you for no reason, and then fly away laughing.
And bite. Lots of biting.
The other day I felt a shooting pain on my hand out of nowhere. I look down and it’s a wasp. Fucker broke into my house and stung me outta nowhere. Bastard.
We get lots of blue mud daubers where I live and I've seen people freak the fuck out over them.
Like guys, they will straight up never have business with you and their main prey is literally spiders if you have an irrational fear of them too
They're the bros of the wasp world. The dudes can't even sting, only the women, and they can take care of the young which is crazy rare. Yoi'd have to go out of your way to get bitten or stung.

Hell, many solitary vespids will fuck up other non-solitary wasps.

Imagine a creature that makes you feel bad for spiders
