    My big gripe is flying bugs such as flies, wasps, gnats, etc. Wasps and hornets are aggressive and sting. Not fun.

      Wasps are also important pollinators, just like bees. They’re also not really nearly as aggressive as people seem to think they are in my experience. So long as you don’t just freak the fuck out when you see one and pay attention to where they are there’s really no issue, only times I can remember getting stung is because I accidentally stepped on one barefoot.

        Sometimes i watch a certain species of wasp in my area collect a small ball of mud and carry it away for their nest

        My main issue with them is that they seem to love flying between my toes when I am barefoot, then freak out and sting me. Or they end up in my shirt while I am riding my bicycle.

        If they could just chill out, I would be more loving to them.
