Why do people hate wasps?

[bugmaster ∞]

Why do people hate wasps? People are always like "bees rule wasps drule". There is no reason to hate bees, but wasps arent all that bad either. First of all, many wasps DO pollenate flowers. They also control crop pests like locusts. Not to mention they, like all other species, keep the food chain in balance. Also when I caught a wasp and released, it just flew away it did not sting me. Also only honeybees die when they sting not other types of bees. Wasps don't make honey but that is not reason to hate them with a passion. Wasps are just a little more agressive, that's all. So what do you think?

Wasps down here in Texas just have no purpose in life but to make your life a living hell. All they do is find ways into my house and do nothing else! But regardless I just hate bugs in general..

why dont you say dogs suck while your at it.

Because dogs are loyal, cute, and don't hover around your face trying to sting you. Either way...there are way too many wasps here in Texas and I would be fine with them if they didn't always find ways into my house and try to sting me every time I enter a room..

The answer to your question is either, WTF?

::or::

A hornet is a wasp, but a wasp is not always a hornet.

"A much narrower and simpler but popular definition of the term wasp is any member of the aculeate family Vespidae, which includes (among others) the genera known in North America as yellow jackets (Vespula and Dolichovespula) and hornets (Vespa); in many countries outside of the Western Hemisphere, the vernacular usage of wasp is even further restricted to apply strictly to yellow jackets (e.g., the "common wasp")."

I dont hate any animal. They all have a purpose. But some more than others.

Depends on the kind. "sweat bees" and "yellow jackets" give wasps a bad rap since they seek you out and sting just because.

Now, a "mud dauber" or something could care less, and something like a cicada killer (often confused for a hornet) is pretty cool - and you'd have to hold it against your arm intentionally for it to sting you.

For example, porpoises.
