Many wasp species are generally non-aggressive, and great pollinators! If they don't fuck with you, then don't fuck with them!
Yep, surprisingly some of the biggest like the “Cicada Killer” and Bald Faced Hornets (as long as you’re not messing with their nest) are very chill around humans as long as you don’t mess with them. Yellowjackets OTOH can get fucked. Fearless and they’ll chase you in numbers if you even just step by the nest or go by it with a mower.
Iirc even the tarantula hawk is very chill and reluctant to sting people. I remember a video by coyote Peterson got stung on purpose and really had to annoy the wasp to get stung.
I agree! The mud daubers and digger wasps can look quite scary with their nipped waists, but they are quite docile. I have a bird feeder, and when it’s empty they sit on the edge patiently while I fill it, then gently crawl into the periphery. They have never bothered me in the slightest
There’s a few that hang around my yard. They gobble up annoying pests and there’s one that seems to visit me deliberately. We hang out for a bit and then she goes off to her duties.
The ones in our yard eat all our pears, the cunts

I think wasp get angry in autumn due to low sugar in diet which I think we can all relate.
Someone get them a snickers.
