Add dirt daubers to the list. They’re my favorite. They build mud tunnels for their eggs and leave live paralyzed spiders in there for the babies to feed on when they hatch. They ignore humans.

I saw these all the time as a kid, but I rarely do anymore. I still see other wasps somewhat often.

And I’ve had a wasp sting me just because I deserve to get fucked, I suppose. It just flew up, landed on my hand, sting me, then fucked off back to whichever circle of hell whence it emerged. There were dozens of other people around, but the allergic teenager was the only one who needed to have their weekend ruined.

Bees and wasps are the same, we just abuse bees for honey and they are liked for that reason alone.
