ive decided im going to like wasps. im going to try to like them. the thing is they get stuck in your house and they sting you and stuff. but i used to be afraid of bees when i was a kid but when i was about 10 years old i realized they were really cute and good. maybe its time to do the same thing with wasps. if you look at them closely theyre pretty cool. they stick up for themselves and their friends, have a strong bold look, stylish wardrobe, etc. probably deserving of respect really

@jk wasps are fantastic, they are my favorite type of insect. The small ones like yellowjackets and parasitoids are very cute, and the bigger ones are badass. There is something beautiful about a creature so small inspiring fear in so many.It keeps humanity humble.

@jk I respect this effort even though I expect it to result in calamity within minutes

@jk A restaurant I went to had a nice patio, but there was a constant low level of wasps circulating in the area. I was annoyed by it until I noticed they the wasps were preying on the black flies. You'd see a fly land on the bright colors of an umbrella, then you'd see a wasp land on the same spot.
Then, the wasp would leave and there'd be no sign of the fly.

I realized, then, that *these* wasps at least were making my breakfast better.
