MODERATORS
wasps and hornets are carnivores, feeding on other insects.
You are correct.
Seems like they're specifying non-flying mammals:
The behaviour is interesting because it shows nectar-feeding and pollination by non-flying mammals might be more widespread than currently recognised, and that the ecological significance of these lesser-known pollinators might be more important than we think,” says Lai. “It’s very exciting.
They're also assholes that the world is better off without. (Anti)social wasps, that is. Solitary wasps are cool.
Structure purist, ingredient neutral: wolves are bees.
Would this not make them omnivores?
Can we also talk about how cute they are?!
Nature finds a way
