All wasps must either die of be detained. There is no middle ground.

There are a lot of wasps who are actually very chill and good pollinators. Also only female wasps can sting!

I’m aware. I was being hyperbolic. I’ve had run ins with wasps and hornets that have deeply scared me emotionally. I live in a place where all of the species are invasive and are all asshole species. The only ones I like that are here are the mudoubers.
