People hate the common asshole wasp. Most people don't know that other nicer wasps exists ๐Ÿ˜‚

Right. That small mud dauber, she's cool (even though she's probably hunting spiders to lay eggs in). The little yellow jacket that buzzes around the picnic, no big deal, I know you're just looking for food.

Those hornets who see you from a distance and go murder rage, you can just go to hell.

I'm no fan of those mostly harmless wasps that has a suicidal curiosity and no respect for personal space either. "Oh, look, lets land on this guys neck and tickle him until he tries to scratch it. THEN lets sting him." At least as a kid I could usually hear them sneaking up on me. Not so much anymore.

Until you step on their nest.

True enough, but even the docile bee isn't going to be nice in that case.
