Fuuuuuck thaaaaat, I've been stung by a few wasps, but not all at once, the most at once was about 3 times, all on my dumb bald head, but that was just was one asshole who got pissy that I went into my shed.

One time I was trying to knock a nest down during the day like the dumbass I am, about 30 reeeeeeaaaallly angry wasps came staunching out after me, I barely made it inside.. Those little fucks sat there at my door flying around in a circles and randomly dive bombing my fly screen door every time they saw me, for 8 hours... I was a hostage in my own house, they were out to kill me that day.

Fuck you wasps! I hope you go extinct you useless excuse of an insect!

I really wish they were useless insects but unfortunately for us they're important pollinators. How stuff works also did a good podcast about them.

In the current climate collapse I don't think it would be that bad if the species happened to fall out a window. I'm curious, wasp defender, do mosquitos rate as worth saving?

Ok sure, but they could not abuse this particular individual

I currently have 1 sting from over a week ago that is still annoying and itchy. I feel sorry for this guy, he is lucky to be alive. What a nightmare

all you need in that scenario is a good shop vac… works for flies too.
