Executioner Wasp | They aren’t that mean  

Those thing still look terrifying

Red wasps which are paper wasps are most certainly NOT docile! I have been stung many times over the years from just being in their vicinity.

ok!

like they say leave bugs alone and they will leave you alone

@@damon20rthey’re not particularly aggressive either, but they are *territorial* during peak season. A lot of the trick is to not swat at them or panic/run. Stay away from their nests if you locate one, and hold still if they just hover up to check you out. For the most part they just treat you like part of the scenery if they aren’t provoked. I literally work in pest control and I collect wasps as a hobby and the only thing I’ve ever been stung by is a honeybee.

Touché!

I cringed at this

@@ButtChugDoug66 bro is cringled right now get well soon

We sat on a bench in Saint John on a hiking trail at the top of a sweltering hike.... "bee", "another bee", "another bee", "oh crap move!" They didn't give chase or sting but had chosen the worst place to set up home. We also sat right under a nest on a tree on the beach without realizing until we left and almost walked into the nest ... To say they are not aggressive is an understatement. European paper wasps will buzz you for being within six feet of their nest. These guys are like oh hey just letting you know we're here.

​@@ButtChugDoug66Oh no! Anyways!

😂 this comment is amazing

I think you mean don't make me use it.

Bruh😂😂😂😂

**leave me bee

I've never been stung by a yellowjacket, or as we simply call them here, a wasp. I have, however, been stung at least 30 times in my life by honeybees. Not sure why people always say that garbage about yellowjackets. Leave them alone and they won't bother you.

Phew. I taught they are all arseholes.😂

Fr kinda like wit horses the bigger the nicer

​@@xXKandiKorpseXxThat's quite an accurate statement! Except when the horse has haflinger blood in it, lord save us if so

@@xXKandiKorpseXxlike dogs. I met a grandma at a park and she had a really big dog, the dog was white and no joke was about the size of a polar bear. And it was only looking around and was calm

Natural selection. To be a shy and eusocial wasp you must have a sting of fire

Yes, but these are most likely male(they cant sting) but can bite if threatened

@@blazephamous7425 ok that makes sense I still wouldn’t have the balls to assume they were male Edit still wouldn’t touch them if they were males because I forgot they bite to

@@blazephamous7425nah males can def sting

sorry bud, they dont have stingers@@builders_republic

@@builders_republicare you saying that because you have evidence that proves otherwise or because that just sounds wrong to you? Genuine question. As far as I know the males of all eusocial insects are generally harmless and always docile, their purpose is not to benefit the colony they belong to any more than spreading the colony’s genes. So there is very little purpose for them to ever evolve any defences like stingers.

very true, it's always the weak looking to fight everything that moves, I'm weak too but I'm also a pacifist so I don't fight with anybody.

Ha, we were thinking the same thing

cool name. i call one of my cats tedi roosecat.

Beat me to it months ago, bravo.

or…. Beeodore Roosevelt?

This made me laugh more than it should, lol.

I'm devoted to science enough that I could wax poetic about that guy for an entire TED talk, but I ain't so devoted to science that I'm about to go get stung and bitten all around the world. What a dude!

Giant Asian can recognize faces. They won't harm someone they trust to provide their needs; but they have an intense sting and can be a little too strong for a western habitat. They're designed to cope with eastern rain

Me!!! I’m not afraid of wasps anymore after growing up alongside them and learning that they’re actually very very patient

@@ParanoidParamour I also enjoy wasps quite a bit, the wasps in my area know me so they come bother me if they are having difficulties finding food (which is sadly happening more and more). They often come hangout with me no matter where I am at in the garden or around the property. I now leave out a small dish for them so they're not just climbing into my drinks or try to munch on what I'm eating. Because they're curious and social insects, once you're 'in' you're basically in. I've even had wasps sting other people if they don't like the person I'm hanging out with. They're a good judge of character.

​@@yoggerzzzSo... they're Crow Wasps.

​@@AmbipieSo they're Crow Wasps.

Still says the bullet ant was the worst

😂

Pretty sure there is some sea creature with a venom that hurts so bad anyone stung would prob prefer to die than experience the pain....we just haven't found it yet...but when we do..." Yo, Coyote, got something for ya..."😮

Well, when you got that kind of deterrent, you have the luxury of being chill.

It also helps when you happen to be a paper wasp.

Let me guess. It was small, very dark blue, and had pollen on its legs.

Yeah, I’m not listening to anyone who says that any kind of bee is nice.

@@AGZhark Bees are docile and far less likely to sting you unless you threaten them or their hive. It's wasps and hornets that aren't nice.

@@Spiralpaladinactually the vast majority of wasps aren’t any more temperamental than bees are. Yellow jackets just made them some horrible PR

@@Spiralpaladin A bee is a bee. Flies around, buzzes, black and yellow, never respects personal space.

It's true actually hornets on the other hand are more.. aggressive from what iv experienced anyway

I've heard the opposite. The truth is for most wasp, hornets​, and etc don't screw with them and they won't screw with you. They usually only get very territorial when there's not as many flowers, so they have to rely on their young's vomit to survive. @Cpt.Ravioli

Sorry, we're all out of propaganda right now...

Literally 99% of wasp species are not known to be aggressive without provocation. Even most paper wasps can be said to be defensive/territorial at worst.

Yeah I call bullshit. I was stung on the spine twice in one second for the high crime of walking past them 6 ft away

Fuck man that must hurt ow I live in North America in Texas thank goodness

So I Don't accidentally get stung by accidentally bothering some

​@@Adrian-ps7iuman, you got wayyyy more to worry about than wasps in Texas

@@max10hoop oh YES

Yeah that's the thing about "let them do their thing." It's all well and good until you surprise each other

Yes they don't have stressful lives

Look up Mud Daubers, they're also pretty chill :) Source: i have to deal with them every summer lol

​@@XM8A1You and me both, man. Only difference is they show up for me in SPRING. Source: I live on the Bayou, wasps and mud daubers are pretty much everywhere down here during spring and summer.

@@xenoflame191 They also show up in the spring, just not as often lol

Because for the most part, they are!

Honey wasps exist

You forgot - potter wasps - mud daubers - ichneumons - flower wasps - actually literally almost all wasps except a small handful of common pest species or invasive non-natives like German yellowjackets

They have no enemies... Because anyone who _could_ be an enemy has learned to just leave them alone.

eh not really, even in fall down here i have about 8 decently developed nests under the railing of my porch, and so long as i don’t touch them they are fine.

I mean I’ve removed several of their nests as part of my job and it’s kinda wild how chill they are in personal experience. Idk why yours are so spicy but 90% of the deal is to not tip them off to the possibility that you’re a predator instead of just part of the scenery. Don’t be running around and swatting at them or approaching their nest during peak activity. Smooth, calm movements. Back away if they start giving you warnings

If only bald faced hornets and European yellowjackets were as chill as these are, and not complete cuntwaffles.

"FETCH ME THEIR SOULS"

@@swansatteaparty1711 (very aggressive buzzing)

So it's an invasive species there

​@@enzonavarro8550if it's causing damage, it would be

⁠@@enzonavarro8550they do more good than harm so it’s not really invasive

But isn't the wasp found in central and south America?

I found an Asian giant hornet in the UK the other day and I was like wtf

Yellowjackets need to go along with the Asian giant hornets they both are demons.

My brother has diabetes so yellow jackets are drawn to him even more (from more sugar in his sweat) they literally see him and just sting him like if there’s a nest near and one sees him, he’s completely and utterly fucked. They follow him around for a while though they don’t land on humans that often unless to sting but yeah, they suck. Luckily I’ve never been stung by a yellow Jacket though

@@languid-4535 Hope it stays that way. They do hurt.

​@@languid-4535They land on me all the time. I don't get stung

​@@sirblue5586there's little outward difference between yellow hornets and paper wasps. You probably just have a large paper wasp nest

I have seen a vid here on yt with three active hives besides eachother, each a diffrent wasp species. Have seen educational vids about asian giant hornets which will, in tough times go after other hives to scavage and kill

Armed society is a polite society definitely seems to apply to these guys lol. :)
