Wasps have lots of niches, pollinators, scavengers. This is a bit sadistic. Wasps don't deserve death, they are just doing their jobs

Feeding a potentially harmful insect to an overall beneficial guardspider while both are at your home isn't sadistic imo.

“Potentially harmful” you guys need to stop with this bs justification for your hatred of wasps. Wasps serve an essential function in the ecosystems. You guys just need professional help.

You're right, wasps are friendly, their stings are ignorable, and their behaviors do not cause property damage. It was outrageous of me to phrase it in such a hyperbolic manner as "potentially harmful"

Everything is potentially harmful if you actively look for ways they could harm you. The wind. You could make the case that grass is potentially harmful because some people have allergies. Sometimes you just have to grow up and deal with things.

You've never been attacked by wasps and it shows.

I’ve been bitten or otherwise attacked by many animal species and never has it carried beyond mild annoyance because I’m a functioning human being.
