  Do German wasps attack you unprovoked like ours do?

    Apparently that’s a myth according to every source I could find about wasps in the US.

    They seek out your breath, so people start panicking swinging wildly and running away, which in return might be considered a threat.

      The nest is my primary target. Cover up, knock it down, destroy it, walk away for a bit, they all leave. Fuk wasps.

        • it would be illegal to go after the nest in Germany. At least generally. There are of course exceptions, but you’d need to get the authorities involved and a specialist remove them.
        • you’d often need to dig, because the most annoying wasps (common wasp and German yellowjacket) often have their nests underground

        Yes, I value scientific research over some random comment on Lemmy. Weird, I know.
