I always feel like I'm calling cat by saying the word "wasps" like... Wasps -sps-sps-sps.
WHAT?! Wasps are the BEST!
This is what happens when you feed them colorful construction paper to make their nests:

How do you know they are angry?
I don't know about angry but certainly annoying in a couple of ways.
Whenever we eat outside wasps make a bee line for our table
And even more annoying, they eat our grapes.
Any insect that flits from flowet to flower will help pollinate.
Wasps are pollinators but inefficient ones in practice, because they are so aggressively opportunistic. They would rather raid honeybees for drones, larvae and honey than gather themselves, taking the path of greatest violence but little enough resistance.

Seems to be the way of most predators. We are all about energy conservation.

That is pretty damn cool, I'll be honest. I still think they are nature's ******* (wasps), but everything serves a purpose I suppose.
Maybe I should try to be friendlier with our more stingier bee cousin. Although, I wish they'd stop trying to land on me thinking I'm a flower or something.
I have a deep fear of wasps. I've never been stung, and do not intend to be.
Wherever a wasp is, I won't be.
Wherever a wasp is, I won't be.
I turned over a nest by accident when a kid.
1) Wouldn't recommend it.
2) Not the end of (my personal little) world
That I agree with. They are gorgeous colored bugs. But pretty colors usually means danger.
Yeah. Although I've never been bitten before. If you know how to behave with them they can be friendly enough.

When I was 12 i was stung 137 times by yellow jackets. Spent a little over a day in the hospital. Since then a yellow jacket, honeybee, etc. can sting me and I just swipe them away and go on about my business. This past summer I was stung in the ankle twice by what I think was a paper wasp. My ankle throbbed for 3-4 days and it took a week for the swelling to go down.
I then found out on the insect sting pain scale the paper wasps is in the top 3 to 5 for pain/swelling. I sure don't want to run into them again lol.

It's not a big deal when they do. I usually have a nest of the little guys every season and they will sometimes land on me when I'm outside. Don't do anything to them you wouldn't do to a human (aka, do not attack them, smack them, aggravate them) and it's fine.
I did have one time that one landed in my hair and I didn't notice. I almost accidentally squished the poor guy when messing with my hair, and I rightly got stung for it. I'd sting something too if it almost squished me to death. I felt bad. Not because it stung me, but because I almost murdered the poor guy on accident.

Yeah, nope. Nope nope nope, don't land on me. Do your business elsewhere, but do not land on me. I tend not to try to kill them, though, even if they do.
