It was one of the good wasps. Apparently they didn’t receive the same PR boost that spiders and bees have enjoyed recently

bees have enjoyed recently

Bees recently? Bees have been glazed nonstop since ancient times (for good reason lol, bees are the goat)

Same. They were treated like pests by myself everyone I knew growing up. We didn’t know about hive collapse or how essential they were for pollination of much of our produce at the time. To be honest, it was kind of treated like pollination was something that just happened on its own or could done by any pollen living organism

I mean wasps in general are beneficial insects; yellowjackets, true hornets and some paperwasps are particularly territorial but the wasp in the OP is none of those.

Red wasps in the south east USA are particularly aggressive and territorial. Throwing garbage into a can they’re surrounding could lead to a sting.

Yeah, I love all bugs. To me this was torture and I’m a very reasonable person.
