And now they've pollinated my shoe with their guts.
Seriously though, you're right, but when a bee comes into my home I catch and release, when a wasp invades it's search and destroy. While screaming terrified of course
Just cup your hand and smack it out of the air, it'll be stunned for a bit and you can grab a wing a huck it somewhere else. You get to slap a wasp and you're not a random bug murderer.
You've just made me a more effective bug murderer, you fool
i use chemical weapons against wasps because they don't deserve the geneva convention. those anti-wasp sprays are the shit, you can blow them out of the sky with them
This is the way.
I generally grab a cup or bowl and cover it if it's a hornet, but most wasps won't even sting me if I'm gentle while taking them outside, the vast majority of wasps are quite docile unless you bother their nests
right, hear me out though.
