Goddamn (wasps)

When I was maybe 10, I had a dream of making a machine that was going to live in my backyard and would pump some sort of wasp-killing chemical into the atmosphere. That chemical that only and specifically killed wasps would eventually spread around the entire planet and make wasps extinct. Then I’d never see another wasp again.

I can see you and I had similar childhoods…

If you live in the South, I think serious contenders would be the sand flies (if you live near the ocean) or the formosan termites (if they ate the shit out of your house).

As a white anglo-saxon protestant I will say this isn’t the first time I’ve heard such a comment.

I now understand why that is scientifically impossible, but I still have that dream. This world would be a better place without wasps in it.

Wasps suck but I think I hate mosquitos more than any other living thing.

A chuckle hearing all these bug stories.

That would be yellow jacket.

You have to threaten a “Bees” life or hive to make them sting. They can only sting once, then they die.

Yellow Jackets can sting you twenty times and live.

“Bees”, have fuzz on their body. Yellow Jackets, don’t.

God Bless the Bees. They are gentle pollenators.

Yellow Jackets are vicious little assholes.

Yep.

Wasps: yellow jackets, hornets, paper wasps (in order of aggression). All can sting multiple times. YJ’s are the ones all over your food and garbage.

Bees: honey bees (can only sting once), bumble bees (can sting multiple times).

@Spartansd

They all must die. I have been stung more times than I can count. They are useless little cunts and need to be eliminated at any and all costs.

As a child they haunted or hunted me daily. Then at some point the worm turned inside of me and instead of fear I found rage. Were I used to run I now look to see where it came from and look to eliminate its whole family from this earth.

I am sure they provide some positive thing to the circle of life and such. But all I know is they are useless to me.

Yeah this is pretty much how I feel about Bears fans

@bdub13

Not to entirely derail the topic, but the worst animal on this planet is the fire ant. At least wasps and hornets act as pollinators. Fire ants just suck, and should be removed from the planet whenever possible.

You make a damn good point.

Well played!

Was in Mexico, Temixco to be precise. Exploring Xochicalco and decided to head off the beaten path. Got mauled. I’m with ya.

Still dead sexy, bro!

@socko

Your firearms are useless against them.

I recommend chopsticks.

A wasp sting is bad
But I’m telling you, get into the chiggers and watch out
Them little suckers will eat you up

@bdub13

the fire ant

2 days ago, that foot was so swollen, I could barely get a shoe on it.

I should introduce you to my ex…

@BigNatty

No! Not another foot thread!

My mother-in-law trumps your ex.
