Can we just declare war on anything smaller than a rat
Please purge these little fucks, I dont care about ecosystems or food chains
Its a creature straight from HR Geigers nightmares
Probably shouldn't have watched this before going hiking.
Poor bees
Holy FUCK @ that venom being able to melt human skin.
Evolution is fucking gnarly sometimes.
when i was back home, there was a wasp nest under my parent's deck that would attack if you walked near it. we sprayed it with wasp spray several times over several days and they still kept coming.
Personally I believe every life form has it's own special brand of evolution, which explains why the typical wood bee is fuzzy and chill,
while the wasp is usually insect wrath incarnate..
A necessary evil though, as awful as they are they are amazing at population control as mentioned in the video.
Removing them would cause massively overpopulation issues, plus the more fuzzy wasps help with pollinating as also mentioned so they're just a thing thats there to keep shit in balance.
The only people who really truely hate them are the Japanese honey farmers with the Gian Hornet as it literally kills their job, but its their own fault for using a non-native breed of bee to produce honey in the end.
I knew about parasitism in wasps but not the one where the adults feed the young so the young can feed the adults, that's neat.
Also the warrior wasp's drumming (which is cool as shit by the way) may be a method to deter predators without having to sting them, as their stingers are barbed and may kill the wasps. Evolution is weird.
Oh god..the larvae.
emerald wasps are horrifying nty
Lucky for me, I've never had a problem with them and I hope I never do.
Last week I went walking through an area I go cycling through and I'm never walking out there again. When I bike through there, I get through it pretty quickly but when I walked through there, I realized that the whole area is filled with subterranean wasp nests, and man was that a long walk. They kept buzzing around me and I kept getting spooked and jogging away but there just more and more. Don't go walking at the far end of the Newark Slough at Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge, there is no escape out there because you're really far out there. To top it all off, I've seen large red ants there which may or may not be fire ants.
I recorded this the week before while I was cycling at a nearby park called Coyote Hills. I even seen saw a scorpion here once before and they're not supposed to be local
